Side note: "Kala" means time, in Sanskrit. It also means someone who controls "death". Feminine form of it is "kali". I think it is only fitting to name a scheduler after time (or something that is controlled by it). ;) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%81la_(time) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%81la_(time)

        depends on how you say it, if pronounced kla then it's art if pronounced kala then it means black. (Hindi)

        If art it's pronounced more like kuh-LAA If black it's kalaa If time it's kaa-La

      And in Swedish, it's the plural positive of kal, which means bald.

    Well, it means "well". Like, "well done". Or, "good <things>", plural.
