Transliteration

Yata no Kakami — Katakamuna Kami

Literal Gloss

A mirror-field opens in eight directions. Fire-light is reflected in the water-body. At the center of that reflection, latent Katakamuna receives form and name and appears as Kami.

Interpretive English

Uta 02 describes the resonance of Uta 01 entering Yata no Kakami, an eight-directional field of reflection, and becoming manifest as Katakamuna Kami. The rendering follows the Japanese fire-water and reflection model; it does not assert that the compared sounds establish historical word origins.

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.
