Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 34. 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

Literal Gloss
Heavenly water descends from the sacred sky to the settlement as one pillar. Great Yamato becomes sacred dwelling-ground; a child of vital fire stands in the valley and the bright shore becomes a sanctuary. Islands are layered and governed, the great spirit-core is rounded and divided, the great word-event presses outward like tide, and receptive water dwells near the enduring paired shelter.
Interpretive English
Uta 34 brings the insight of Iyashiro down as a single heavenly pillar, ordering valley, shore, islands, spirit-core, word-tide, and receptive dwelling within great Yamato. This is an interpretive translation, not historical-etymological proof.
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.
