OOC -- I want a word (preferably English, though I'd take other languages if I had to) which can be spelled in hexadecimal numbers and ends in UL or LU (for Unsigned Long).  For example, CUL: it's one hex digit (C) plus UL, and is a word in French. Unfortunately, it's a rude word, and I want this to go in a technical manual, so I'd prefer something that's not rude.
Hex digits: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.  You can use, say, 0 for o and 7 for t, but the best answers will not rely too much on this.

Bonus points: if the 0x symbol that goes in front of it makes it funnier, like 0xBEEF for a hex (signed integer) literal, or, um, 0xCUL even.

Reward: The one I like best will get into a formal language manual as an example of an unsigned long integer literal!

CAUL is on the short side, but it's real English.

CAUL is nifty. Real and no cheating, and bovines -- though, technically, not oxen -- could have them.

(I asked [livejournal.com profile] beetiger the problem, and she instantly came up with it. Doula classes, y'know.)
