On what do you base this statement? Tooltips are a well known concept not only 
in KDE and users get them by virtually "doing nothing".

The concept of the arrows (without further explanations) is so common that I 
think doing something unusual like adding some single letters to them would 
only be confusing.

I also think that tooltips are the way to go. It's so easy to find out what 
the buttons are doing just by clicking them and there are even other more 
explicit ways to navigate to other dates that I don't think it's worth the 
problems caused by adding text there.
