Literal Gloss
Water divides, wells, and joins Musuhi; the great spirit-core opens. Form rounds under pressure and passes through a conduit into the sea’s inner cavity, which fills, opens broadly, and receives it. Water wells again into Musuhi; many-handed activity coils and intertwines, and fire-water runs as swift fire.
Interpretive English
Uta 66 carries the heavenly-root current into a deep sea-womb, renewed water-Musuhi, interwoven action, and swift activation. The terms remain within the Japanese generative model.
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.
