Kalusa began on May 22, 2006, with four simple sentences posted on the Kalusa homepage: # ''Ma vito es John.'' ("I see John.") # ''Ira vito es palu.'' ("He sees the cat.") # ''Ira vito es teku kia ruba.'' ("He sees the red book.") # ''Ma vito es da ruba.'' ("I see the red one.") With no initial grammar or grammatical information, Kalusa was open to contributions from anyone. Within a week, the corpus grew from four sentences to over a thousand.
