Kala Clock

So, I’ve changed the Kala daily clock.

The old clock:

“The Day

The Kala daily clock is divided into three equal 8 hour segments. The morning (yomua), the midday (yotso) and evening (puama). So, when asked what time it is, or when something should happen, instead of 9am or 5pm, one would say (tsima) na’o te yotso or (tsima) na’o te puama.

The new clock:

“The Day

The Kala clock is divided into 8 hours. Each hour is equivalent to three on a traditional, or analog clock. So, 6am is tsima ta’o (hour 2), and punu haue’o ma’e tsima ma’o is 11:30am (This could also be tsima ha’o ma ya’itsa’o (hour 3 and 5/6)).

This means that the day can be divided into 4 equal parts; yomua “morning” is tsima na’o tsaye ha’o “3am until 9am”, yotso “midday” is tsima ha’o tsaye ya’o “9am until 3pm”, puama “evening” is tsima ya’o tsaye tsa’o “3pm until 9pm”, and yohua “night” is tsima tsa’o tsaye na’o “9pm until 3am”.”
