Kala has reached a point where all updates are incremental and sporadic. I don't have any current plans for any major updates and have begun to dedicate more time to Amal, but the support and interest expressed in this thread has meant a great deal to me, so thank you.
Re: Kala updates etc.
I've added some numeral variations, this section will be expanded and included in the next updated Omyatloko document toward the end of April.
