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). ;)

Luckily in Greek it means 'good'.

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

Whereas in Bengali it means "black", and in Swahili it's a kind of wild cat.

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.

Interestingly, in Turkish it means "until".

It was taken from the Sanskrit meaning for "time". :)
