Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 18. 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
Kamu Ashiki Ne — Ama Tama no Mukahi — Ama Ame — Oho Tonochi — Oho Tonohe — Ama Kuni Mukahi Tokotachi
Literal Gloss
Latent Kamu gains a footing and stands as root. That root faces the heavenly spirit-core while heavenly waters circulate through the celestial field. A great hall’s interior and outer boundary are established. Heaven and country face one another, and the enduring central axis is fixed.
Interpretive English
Uta 18 gives the condensed land-form a latent root, sets it opposite the heavenly spirit-core, establishes inner and outer space, and fixes the enduring axis between heaven and country. Tsuruki marks differentiation and direction. This is a structural rendering, not a claim of proven 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.
