the _miyako_.

= _mo gana_.

3 _kamu_ = _kami_.
4 _kamu sabi sesu_, _sabi_ is viewed in the Kogi as contraction of
_shika-buri_. More likely _sabi_ is connected with _sabu_ (_shiki_) and
_samushi_.
8 _takashiri …_, to exercise high rule.
13 _yamatsumi_, compare _watatsumi_ (_yama-wata-tsu [ka] mi_), mountain
gods. I prefer this to Dr. Florenz’s etymology (F. I. 39).
16 _kazashi_ = _kami-sashi_, stick in, or wear on, the hair.
24 to set up a cormorant-stream, i.e. provide cormorants and their
keepers.
5 _desesu_ = _idasu_, i.e. _funade wo seshimu_.
The m. k. (11) applies rather to _yama_.
For _yasumishishi_ and _tatanadzuku_ see List m. k.

1, 2, 3 are introductory to _hi no miko_.
12 Supply _yukuni_ after _wo_.
14 _shimoto_, brushwood, bushes.
14, 22 _oshinabe_ = _oshinabikasu_, push-bend-down. _shinu_ =
_shinaheru_, intensifies the meaning; _shinu_, _shinubu_, _shinaheru_,
_shinahi_, _shinadaru_ are all etymologically and logically connected.
19 _mi_ = _utsukushii_.
21 A tall full-spiked grass, probably an Arundo or Miscanthus.
22 _shita ni oshi-fuse-nabikasu sama_, _shinu_ connected with
_shinahe_, _shinubu._
25 _omohoshite._
The m. k. (9) applies to _Hatsuse no yama_.
For _yasumishishi_, _takahikaru_, _komorikuno_, _makitatsu_,
_sakatorino_, _kagirohino_, _kusamakura_ see List m. k.
