TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 04: Iwa To Hani
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 04, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Iwa To Hani — Kami Narite — Katakamuna — Yosoya Koto — Hokushi Uta
Literal Gloss
The gate of word opens and a ground is prepared. Divine fire-water sounds and becomes. That sounded divinity receives form and name as Katakamuna; its word-event spreads into the world and is shown as a song of blessing.
Interpretive English
Uta 04 moves the differentiated fire-water of Futomani outward. The word-gate opens, a field is established, and divinity sounds into being as Kami Narite. Katakamuna then unfolds as a blessing-song within worldly manifestation. The reading preserves the Japanese text’s interpretive status and makes no historical-etymological assertion.
Evidence Boundary
This English edition preserves the Japanese source’s distinction between canonical text, structural observation, TENMON interpretation, comparison, and unverified hypothesis. Sound correspondences are not presented as proof of historical etymology.
