We know virtually nothing about the Klingon calendar except:
1) {QI'lop}, the holiday honoring the Klingon military, occurs in the tenth
Klingon month (PK). (The spelling {QI'lop} is a guess of Michael Dorn's
pronunciation in "Power Klingon". Known in fandom as Ke'Plak (October
15?); Khemorex Klinzhai - at least the German chapters - have a meeting
they call Qetlop.)
2) Alexander was born on the 43rd day of Maktag (TNG "New Ground").
3) Kohlar asked the pregnant B'Elanna, "Did you conceive during the holy
month of Nay'Poq?" (VOY "Prophecy").
4) Worf said that the Rotarran's mission began on the 53rd day of the year
of Kahless 999 (DS9 "Soldiers of the Empire").
