Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 12. Its canonical text, structural analysis, and evidence labels govern any discrepancy. This English rendering preserves the transliteration, literal gloss, and interpretive layer separately; it does not expand the Japanese authority’s claims.
Publication boundary: this page does not reproduce private research archives or the full text of rights-unverified modern materials. Historical, linguistic, and comparative statements retain the certainty limits of the Japanese authority.
Review disclosure: linguistically reviewed by TENMON AI under owner authorization; it is not represented as human-reviewed.

Literal Gloss
The seed of life is woven on a loom and becomes pattern and writing. The latent divine body meets a bright spirit-jewel and moves toward form and name as Katakamuna. Body-gates open; the clear blue heart and luminous red sacred word are ordered. Word blossoms, the path of word-events is richly governed, and song becomes its guiding sign.
Interpretive English
Uta 12 orders the inner human-spirit field: life is woven into meaningful pattern, the hidden divine body meets the bright jewel, heart and sacred word are balanced, and the path of word-events is disclosed through song. Color, body, and word imagery are translated within the Japanese TENMON framework, without asserting historical 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.
