Source Authority and Review Boundary
The source authority for this translation is the published Japanese entry for Katakamuna Uta 74. 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.
Transliteration
Sube Kaeshi — Yata Naohi — Kamunagara — Ame no Utsushi Yomi Tane Umu — Yaho Mari — Funami Yama Hori — Funami Umi Futoyo — Yato Kamu Ama Iki — Funa Isaki Kuni Hito — Ame no Hamu Funa — Iya Hamu
Literal Gloss
The return is governed and corrected by eight-directional Naohi. Heavenly reflection and the reading of Yomi combine to produce seed; the eight-directional spirit-core rounds. Vessel, mountain, sea, and valley are ordered; latent heavenly breath passes through them. A person of the land stands at the vessel’s prow, while the vessel takes in and carries heavenly water more deeply.
Interpretive English
Uta 74 produces seed by integrating heavenly reflection with the reading of Yomi, then places it in a living transport system of vessel, land, sea, valley, and human. This is interpretive, not historical etymology.
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.
