TENMON JITEN
Katakamuna Uta 25: Oho Tomatomato
Scope: An English rendering of Katakamuna Uta 25, separated into transliteration, controlled literal gloss, and interpretive English.
Transliteration
Oho Tomatomato — Oho Ketsu Hime — Iwa Kusu Tori Fune — Mitsuko Nami — Hi no Kaka Hiko
Literal Gloss
Three water-cores become waves and stir the islands. Fire-light is reflected in water and stands as a child of fire. A great central gate opens; the receptive food-water principle receives, nourishes, and releases. Rock stabilizes, tree rises, bird carries energy, and vessel carries fire-water across.
Interpretive English
Uta 25 equips the land with a living circulation system: water-waves, reflected fire, a central gate, nourishment, support, growth, movement, and transport. These functions follow the Japanese authority’s symbolic structure and are not offered as external historical 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.
