plus → 44 (spoken as "four four") Kali-gula:
Kali (/ˈkɑːli/ or /ˈkæli/): Referencing Kali, the Hindu goddess of time, destruction, and transformation — often seen as both fearsome and protective. She is a destroyer of evil forces and a symbol of divine feminine power, chaos, and rebirth.
-gula (from Caligula): A nod to the Roman Emperor Caligula—long mythologised for madness and excess—the name evokes a theatre of hubris, cruelty, and psychosexual power. Though modern historians challenge tales of debauchery, pointing instead to populist reforms and anti-elite stunts (like threatening to make his horse consul), Caligula’s legacy remains a potent symbol of absurd authority and unbound spectacle.
