Transliteration

Kamunagara — Okitsu Kahi — Hera He Sakaru — Michi Tama Futomani no — Hetsu Nagisa Hiko — Katakamuna — Toyouke Mikata — Hetsu Kahi Hera — Awa no Maka Yaso — Makatsuhi — Oho Makatsuhi

Literal Gloss

The receptive membrane of the deep sea opens; its edge is pared and divided to make a path. The path-spirit enters Futomani, and a fire-child stands at the near shore. Katakamuna orders the abundant receiving body; the shore membrane is refined, subtle fire-water spreads through eighty great aspects, and advances as victorious fire and great victorious fire.

Interpretive English

Uta 45 refines the boundaries of deep and near shore, passes the path-spirit through Futomani, and transforms subtle fire-water into Makatsuhi. The phrase is interpreted within the Japanese source and not asserted as external 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.
