Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 73. 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
From the fissure a single heavenly root stands and holds a great spirit-core. Heavenly divinity and latent heavenly water join through a receiving bridge. Calm reflection becomes waves of a path that deepens through the eight islands. Kamu dwells in deep breath; heavenly receptive water descends into earth-blood waves, Naohi corrects distortion, and deep fire-water appears in reflection.
Interpretive English
Uta 73 turns the opening into a heavenly root, receiving bridge, calm path-wave, deep breath, corrected earth-blood, and deep reflection. Naohi and Yashima retain their Japanese conceptual roles.
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.
