Transliteration

Ame Oki Mitsu Komo Koro Shima — Amatsu Akitsu Ne — Tsukushi Shima — Oho Toyashima

Literal Gloss

The gathered fire-water placed in heaven’s depth encloses itself and becomes an island. A root of the bright heavenly harbor stands, and heavenly water opens as light at the shore of the land. Tsukushi Shima is built and the great gate of the eight islands opens.

Interpretive English

Uta 22 unfolds the central harmony of Futo Yamato into islands and an eight-directional land. A condensed fire-water core is held within the island-form and linked to the bright root of the heavenly shore. This is a TENMON structural interpretation, not a claim of historical etymology.

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.
