Transliteration

Kamunagara — Ehime — Sanuki Chi — Awa Tosa Chi — Ame no Oshi Koro — Oki Mitsuko — Tsukushi Toyo Wake — Hi no Kuni — Kumaso Iyashiro Chi wa — Ikitsu Saki yori — Iyashiro Koto Satori

Literal Gloss

In accordance with the latent order, varied lands open: receptive-water land, penetrating land, and lands of foam and blessing. Heavenly water is pressed into condensation; three deep water-cores stand. Tsukushi is richly divided, the land of fire opens, and even the deep corner becomes clear sacred ground. From the leading edge of living breath, the word-event of Iyashiro is understood.

Interpretive English

Uta 33 expands sacred ground across differentiated land-forms and culminates in recognizing the Iyashiro word-event from the living edge of breath. Place names and sound structures remain within the Japanese authority and are not treated as external etymological evidence.

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.
