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
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 voicechat in the ma pona community, it was later proposed that the phrase and an abbreviated form could be used as a farewell.[1]
