Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 35, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Kamunagara — Oho Tohi Wake no — Katakamuna — Iwa Tsuchi Hiko — Iwasu Hime Tsumi — Ame no Fukio no — Ohoya Hiko — Oshio — Oho Tochi Kasane — Wata Hime — Haya Akitsu Ma no Hiko Hime
Literal Gloss
Under the latent order, the great gate opens and fire differentiates. Katakamuna raises masculine fire in rock and earth and accumulates receptive water hidden in stone. Heavenly breath enters the great shelter; tidal pressure layers the deep earth-blood. Sea-water opens, and masculine fire and feminine water stand at the center of the swift bright harbor.
Interpretive English
Uta 35 thickens the land-body by redistributing rock-earth, hidden water, heavenly breath, tidal pressure, sea, and the paired forces at the shore. Gendered fire-water terms follow the source’s symbolic structure and are not factual etymological claims.
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.
