Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 43. 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.

Literal Gloss
Measure and levels of the body are ordered. Form revolves with its lack and builds a great accumulation of Kamu. Knowledge of the deep earth and Yomi opens as a slope of word. Kamu rounds into a target and the lunar axis stands; blood-waves run through the passage of the vessel-gate. Articulated waves enter receptive water, and space is divided to reopen the word-slope.
Interpretive English
Uta 43 transforms the opened fire-water into measure, absence, deep-earth knowledge, lunar reflection, vessel passage, and a vertical way of word. Yomi and the named forms remain within the Japanese interpretive authority.
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.
