| '''Kala''' uses a base 10 number system. The basic numbers are as follows:

|

| ==== Forming Larger Numbers ====
| |
|
| |
| * '''uena'o''' - eleven / 11
| |
| * '''taue'o''' - twenty / 20
| |
| * '''nyeka'o''' - one hundred seven / 107
| |
| * '''hanyetauetsa'o''' (''long form'') / '''hatatsa'o''' (''short form'') - three hundred twenty six / 326
| |
| * '''tsatletauema'o''' - six thousand and twenty four / 6024
| |
|
| |
| Long form numbers are used in formal situations, including financial transactions, especially involving large sums. Short form numbers are used in everyday speech and when calculating basic math.

| === Math Operations ===
| |
|
| |
| '''Kala''' math is fairly basic and relies on particles and verbs to express functions.
| |
|
| |
| Addition uses '''ma''' (''and; also''). There is no specific order to the numbers in the phrase/equation.
| |
|
| |
| * '''ha'o ma ya'o ke pa'o a'''
| |
| : <small>3 and 5 O 8 COP</small>
| |
| : ''Three plus five is eight.''
| |
|
| |
| Subtraction uses '''ma''' (''and; also'') and a negative form of the smaller integer. There is no specific order to the numbers in the phrase/equation.
| |
|
| |
| * '''tsa'o ma ya'ok ke na'o a'''
| |
| : <small>6 and 5-NEG O 1 COP</small>
| |
| : ''Six and five-less is one.''
| |
|
| |
| Multiplication uses '''ma''' (''and; also'') and a multiple form of one of the integers. There is no specific order to the numbers in the phrase/equation.
| |
|
| |
| * '''ha'o ma tima'o ke ueta'o a'''
| |
| : <small>3 and multiple-4 O 12 COP</small>
| |
| : ''Three times four is twelve.''
| |
|
| |
|
| Division uses '''yeka''' (''divide; separate; partition''), or '''ma''' (''and; also'') and a multiple-negative form of one of the integers. There is no specific order to the numbers in the phrase/equation.
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''tama'o ma ha'o ke pa'o yeka'''
| |
| : <small>24 and 3 O 8 division</small>
| |
| : ''Twenty-four divided by three is eight.''
