Literal Gloss

Subtle inner life begins to move; breath returns and wells into differentiation. Fire-water reflects into manifestation and opens as blessing. The inner cavity opens broadly toward heavenly Yamato. Reflection and Yomi are discerned, the eight-directional field is held, and the calm sea is crossed. Forward heavenly water connects to latent heavenly water, and the island-lord of the deep shore stands.

Interpretive English

Uta 71 turns deep circulation into inner life, returning breath, blessing, discernment, passage across calm water, and a settled island-lord. Yomi and place names remain source entities, not etymological claims.

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.
