TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 11: Iwa Futoya Ne
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 11, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Iwa Futoya Ne — Iki Tsuchi no Wa — Katakamuna — Ama no Hitotama — Kami Saki Satori — Nina Tama no Wake — Tsumi Iki Koto Mari no Wake Yomi
Literal Gloss
A sheltering root of word is raised, and breath and earth form a circle. Katakamuna dwells as the heavenly human spirit. The leading edge of divinity opens as insight; the spirit-core differentiates and assumes its functions. With the sword of discernment, accumulations in breath and condensations bound into word-events are read apart.
Interpretive English
Uta 11 establishes a field of word, a ring of breath and earth, and Katakamuna within the human being as Ama no Hitotama. Tsuruki signifies the discerning operation that differentiates divine impulse, spirit-core, breath, and the condensations of word-events. This rendering preserves the source’s interpretive boundary and makes no etymological claim.
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.
