The value here is somewhat uncertain, perhaps to strip off the flowers and set them on the sleeve in some way. 26 _karashi_, caus. of _karu_ wither. _mi_ here, as in 22, has an iterative force. 39 _hita-teri_, right dazzling. 52 _kaku_, thus, i.e. weathering all the seasons, but _kaku_ may be read _kagu_, fragrant, i.e. pleasing all the year through, hence by a word-play the appropriateness of the term _ka-guhashimi_ (25). For _shirotaheno_, _ashihikino_, _tokihanasu_ see List m. k. 232 Niha no hana wo mite yomeru uta.
