Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 27. 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
Iwa Kusu Yumari — Ama Na Kuni Nushi — Ware Musuhi — Iho Kuni Tsumari — Yae Mokoro
Literal Gloss
Rock-mass and tree-pillar acquire a binding, circulating force. A lord of the land bearing a heavenly name stands, and that governing power becomes Musuhi at the center of the self. Many land-fields compress and converge, forming eightfold layers of condensation across land, body, and word-event.
Interpretive English
Uta 27 moves from the binding of rock and tree to a named land-lord, self-centered Musuhi, and a multilayered condensation of country, body, and word. The interpretation preserves the source’s latent/manifest distinction and makes no etymological assertion.
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.
