omekapo is an obscure interjection used to mean "goodbye", particularly in the ma pona pi toki pona community. It is an abbreviation of the phrase o moku e kala pona, meaning "eat (a) good fish!".[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The phrase o moku e kala pona originates from a 2019 Toki Pona meetup in Dallas, Texas, where jan Sonja inscribed and signed a copy of the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good belonging to jan Maliku with the following message:[1][2]
jan Maliku o!
sina mije pona.
ale li pona.
o moku e
kala pona.
Sonja
:)
Maliku!
You're a good man.
All is good.
Eat (a)
good fish.
Sonja
:)
The event took place in a sushi restaurant, as such jan Sonja was likely wishing jan Maliku to enjoy his food.[3][4] Later, in a voice chat in the ma pona community, it was proposed that the phrase and an abbreviated form could be used as a farewell.[1]
sitelen pona[edit | edit source]
A proposed sitelen pona glyph for omekapo (omekapo) is derived from the glyph for kala (kala) with emitters. It was designed by nimi Elemenopi in July 2020. He also proposed an alternative design based on the combined glyph for kala pona, representing the mouth wrapping properly around the front of the fish so that only half of the curve is visible. In the proposals, both glyphs were drawn facing left, but they are usually drawn facing right instead.[5][6]

Singer and songwriter jan Usawi coined variations on omekapo as the names of their songs omekalike (2021), short for o moku e kala ike,[7] and omekalikante (2022), short for o moku e kala ike ante.[8] These may be translated as "good riddance" or "badbye".[9][10]
