Transliteration

Ame Kuni Sakiri — Mokoro Shima — Ame Kuni Sacchi — Soko Soki Shima — Takehi Wake

Literal Gloss

At the deepest base an island-root stands and foundational energy supports it. Fire with bamboo-like joints differentiates; the fire-water of heaven and land is divided, and islands of many condensations arise along that boundary. Blessing and earthly power then settle into the islands as land.

Interpretive English

Uta 24 roots the island-form in the deep foundation, differentiates articulated fire, and stabilizes the divided heavenly and earthly forces as inhabited land. The bamboo and fire imagery is structural within the source, not asserted as 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.
