Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 67. 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
Wind-current, three waters, and mud-like turbidity are enclosed in mountain; the mountain becomes an assembled gate. Rock-gate and marsh form one enclosure and become a mountain-ring of sound. Turbidity is returned to generation; a blue-heaven rock mountain stands, the mountain-field spreads, and the current divides from heavenly leaves into many harbors.
Interpretive English
Uta 67 integrates mud, marsh, rock, mountain, and sound, returning turbidity to the cycle before dividing it into many outlets. This is symbolic structure, not geological or etymological fact.
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.
