Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 47, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Kamunagara — Uhatsu Watatsumi — Murachi Itsuku — Uha Tsutsuo — Amaterasu — Utsushiki — Kana Saku — Take Haya Susanoo — Tsukiyomi Ma — Mikura Tana — Takiri Hime — Ichikishima — Sayori Hime
Literal Gloss
The upper sea-body opens; gathered earth-blood is consecrated and the upper conduit stands. Solar fire passes as Amaterasu and the pattern of reflection appears. Hard condensation is split; swift, forceful fire-water moves, while Tsukiyomi reads reflection from the center. A sacred store-shelf is set and three receptive water-functions arise.
Interpretive English
Uta 47 completes upper, middle, and lower circulation and differentiates solar, lunar, forceful, storage, and three water functions. Divine names are retained as source entities, not reduced to speculative 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.
