owe is an obscure joke word used to satirize Orwellian and totalitarian concepts and accusations. It was coined by nano in 2021.[1] Its sitelen pona glyph (owe) is derived from the glyph for lukin with emitters above, representing the global surveillance of the fictional Oceanian government in Nineteen Eighty-Four.
As a number word, it may refer to the quantity of 1984, especially when referring to the year, as in tenpo sike nanpa owe.[2]
It may be considered an antonym of another obscure word, kamalawala.
