The m. k. apply to the words following them, but (1) to _Une[bi]_, (19) to _aha_ of _Afumi_. For _tamatasuki_, _tsuganokino_, _soramitsu_, _awoniyoshi_, _amazakaru_, _ihabashiru_, _sasanami_, _kasumitatsu_, _momoshiki_ see List m. k. 2 Note the jingle _Karasaki_ | _sakiku_. 10 Yoshinu no miya ni idemaseru toki Hitomaro ga yomeru uta (futatsu) kaheshi uta (hitotsu).

The idea, perhaps, was that of the chief having complete control of all the wealth of the tribe originally for the subsistence of himself and his _gesyth_. 5 _shi mo_, a pair of emphatic particles. _Shi_ perhaps was originally this or that, or this or that self (or it may be root of _suru_, to do, act); _mo_ is merely, also, too. _Shi mo_ almost = _naho_. 6 _saha_, abundant. The homonym _saha_ also means a marshy valley-bottom, in Japano-Chinese _taku_. Hence by a rebus-wise use of the Chinese character _taku_ continued with _san_ mountain (_yama_) came to be _takusan_, a common word for much, many.
