Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 14. 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.
Transliteration

Literal Gloss
The great word-event presses outward like a tide. Rock and earth differentiate into masculine fire and feminine water, and a great gate of questioning opens. Heavenly breath descends; pressure passes through covering and vital flow, opening the great sea-body. At the swiftly brightening harbor, masculine fire and feminine water stand.
Interpretive English
Uta 14 unfolds the land-womb into word, tide, differentiated rock-earth, descending heavenly breath, the great sea, and the paired forces at the water’s edge. The masculine/feminine language follows the source’s fire-water symbolism and is not presented as biological or historical-etymological fact.
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.
