- The Kala calendar is modeled after the Baha'i Calendar. This borrowing is based on mathematical symmetry, not religious or theological associations.
- The 26th of February through the 1st of March is called the semahua, or "flower-week". This period includes the 29th of February in leap years.
- Based on this calendar, Cinco de Mayo would be yoma pa'o te sayo ha'o, or Day 8 of Month 3.
- Similarly, Valentine's Day would be yoma pa'o te sayo uepa'o, or Day 8 of Month 18.
- In the chart below, each column represents a sayo, or 'month' and the rows are the yoma, or days.
