omekapo is an uncommon interjection used occasionally to mean "goodbye", particularly in the ma pona pi toki pona Discord server. It is an abbreviation of o moku e kala pona ("eat [a] good fish!").[1]
Origin
The phrase o moku e kala pona originates from a Toki Pona meetup in Texas,[1] where jan Sonja signed a copy of the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good with the following message:[2]
jan Maliku o!
sina mije pona.
ale li pona.
o moku e
kala pona.
Sonja
:)
It was later proposed that an abbreviated form could be used as a farewell.[1]
