Literal Gloss
A rich cloud-womb carries fire-water inward. A broad fissure runs and differentiation increases; accumulated fire-water receives a great name. The guiding song rounds and binds resonance. Fire-water joins, floats, contains, and revolves; old condensation in primal earth-blood is released and returned to Katakamuna. High Musuhi acts, life-stakes pass through the receptive womb, and divinity is discerned through differentiation.
Interpretive English
Uta 30 gathers a long cycle of cloud, rupture, naming, song, circulation, release, and renewed Musuhi. Old earthly condensation is loosened so divine functions can be distinguished anew. All comparisons remain subordinate to the canonical Japanese source.
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.
