Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 45. 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
The receptive membrane of the deep sea opens; its edge is pared and divided to make a path. The path-spirit enters Futomani, and a fire-child stands at the near shore. Katakamuna orders the abundant receiving body; the shore membrane is refined, subtle fire-water spreads through eighty great aspects, and advances as victorious fire and great victorious fire.
Interpretive English
Uta 45 refines the boundaries of deep and near shore, passes the path-spirit through Futomani, and transforms subtle fire-water into Makatsuhi. The phrase is interpreted within the Japanese source and not asserted as external 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.
