The Kalends (Latin k/calendæ, -arum), (or calends) correspond to the first days of each month of the Roman calendar. This term can be traced back to the Etruscans, which could explain the appearance of the letter k, a letter less favoured by Latin than the letter c (the few Latin words containing a k are often borrowed from the Estrucans). Another explanation of the word's roots is that its from the Latin language: from the word calendae (the called), from the infinitive calare (to call).

The Romans assigned these kalends to the first day of the month, signifying the start of the new moon cycle. On that day, the pontiffs would announce the rest days for the upcoming month, and the debitors had to pay off their debts that were inscribed in the calendaria, a sort of accounts book. The date (in this calendar system) was measured relative to days such as the Kalends or Ides, for example, in modern terms, three days past Kalends would be the 4th of the month. This sort of system would be used to date documents, diary entries, etc. Crust composition Oxygen 43% Silicon 21% Aluminium 10% Calcium 9% Iron 9% Magnesium 5% Titanium 2% Nickel 0. ...
