Bolians do not calculate their ages based on a star calendar. The first immersion of a Bolian baby in the water on their first [[Bolian Ocean Day Celebrations|Ocean Day]] at high tide is counted as the moment of their birth. The number of tides since then, at that location, is how age is determined. In the Bolian language, there is a different word used to denote the day a baby emerges from the Mother's body as opposed to the first Ocean Day. | [[Bolian|Bolians]] do not calculate their ages based on a star calendar.

Because of this construction, Bolian birthdays consist not only of a day, but the exact local time as well. Note that this means that even though two Bolians might be born on the same Earth Day or Stardate, they would not be considered to have the same birthday in Bolian culture unless their first swim hours were very close together, in the local time in each location where they had their respective ceremonies. | Because of this construction, Bolian birthdays consist not only of a day, but the exact local time as well.
