Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 25. 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.

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.
