Literal Gloss

Foam grows still and rises as waves; calm and wave join on one surface and become patterned distribution of water. Wind circulates breath, trees rise as pillars from earth, the great mountain-body lifts, and receptive field spreads through earth and grasses. Fire-water is distributed through the land, supported by stakes of heaven and country.

Interpretive English

Uta 15 turns the motion and stillness of foam and waves into patterned water-distribution, then extends it through wind, trees, mountains, fields, and the supporting axes of heaven and land. The Kakami center emphasizes reflection and reception. This is a TENMON structural interpretation, not an etymological assertion.

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.
