Transliteration

Ama no Kakami — Ame no Yowarotsu — Toki Tokoro Tokotachi — Ame Kuni no Yaho Soto Nami — Katakamuna — Katachi Saki — Awase Maku Hahi

Literal Gloss

The heavenly mirror stands, containing manifold forms within heavenly water. Those forms acquire time and place and become enduring. Fire-water of heaven and country spreads as waves to the eight outer directions. Katakamuna blossoms at the leading edge of form, joining and enfolding fire-water as it extends into manifestation.

Interpretive English

Uta 20 reflects the newly named Kamu in the heavenly mirror, gives it stable time and place, and releases it as eight-directional waves that flower into form. The account translates the Japanese reflection and fire-water model; it makes no claim that comparative sounds establish historical derivation.

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.
