Ma ka alemanaka mahina, ʻo ka mahina lele he mahina ʻē aʻe i hoʻohui ʻia i ka kalena i mea e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka kalena mahina me ka makahiki lā.Hoʻokumu ʻia ka kalena lunar i nā pōʻai o ka mahina, ʻo ia hoʻi he 29.5 mau lā, no laila ʻo ka makahiki mahina he 354 mau lā ka lōʻihi.He pōkole kēia ma mua o ka makahiki lā, ma kahi o 365.24 mau lā.
No ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka kalena mahina me ka makahiki lā, hoʻohui ʻia kahi mahina ʻē aʻe i ka kalena mahina ma kahi o kēlā me kēia ʻekolu makahiki.Hoʻokomo ʻia ka mahina lele ma hope o kekahi mahina ma ka kalena lunar, a ua hāʻawi ʻia i ka inoa like me kēlā mahina, akā me ka hoʻohui ʻia ʻana o ka "lele".No ka laʻana, ua kapa ʻia ka mahina lele i hoʻohui ʻia ma hope o ke kolu o ka mahina "leap third month" a i ʻole "intercalary third month".Ua helu ʻia ka mahina lele ma ke ʻano he mahina maʻamau, a mālama ʻia nā lā hoʻomaha a me nā ʻahaʻaina a pau i kēlā mahina e like me ka mea mau.
