Transliteration
Toyoho Iho — Kamunagara — Oho Kamu Kaeshi — Wake Kaeshi — Iki Toki — Oho Wa Kaeshi — Kaeshi Sube Sora — Kamunagara — Oki Hahi — Oki Naki Saki — Aya Okitsu — Aka Yura Hayu Tae
Literal Gloss
Many abundant ears ripen. Latent reality and differentiated fire-water are returned; living breath and time return to a great circle. The return is governed and opens into space. Deep fire-water spreads, grows calm, and opens ahead; it becomes patterned weaving, while red life-fire shimmers and shines as a subtle fabric.
Interpretive English
Uta 68 is a return-cycle: harvest, latent and differentiated currents, breath, time, space, deep calm, pattern, and red life-fire are rewoven. The reading makes no historical-etymological claim.
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.
