toki pona · kama pi lawa ala ‘'arrival of no government', the beginning of anarchy’

commentary
The word is from a story called "jan pi Kamalawala". A character's name is described as "nimi Jan pi Kama e Lawa Ala", and a shortened version given as "nimi Kamalawala". jan Kipo is responsible for it becoming a word instead of just a name.
