Source Authority and Review Boundary

The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 32. 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

Ama no Kami — Ame no Yorotsu — Kunaki no Tama Wake — Aya Kume — Shikone Kamu Tsumi — Shizumari Nu — Itsu no Tate Kamu — Awa Naki Kasane — Awa Chi no Hono Sawake Shima — Iyo no Iyashiro Chi

Literal Gloss

Heavenly divinity stands and the manifold forms of heavenly water open. Spirit-cores are divided without distress and woven into patterned order. Latent accumulation settles at the root, where the strong vertical axis of Kamu stands. Layers of calm foam receive divided fire-shoots, become islands, and finally become sacred dwelling-ground.

Interpretive English

Uta 32 orders heavenly multiplicity through careful division, patterned assembly, rooted stillness, and a firm central axis, transforming island layers into Iyashiro ground. The account is structural and does not assert proven 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.
