12 After _keburi_ supply _areba_.
16 _nami_ is _nashi_, not--_miru_-(_koto_) _shiru_ (_koto_) _shi
nashi_. Another reading, however, is possible.
17-19 are introductory to _kakete_ (20), as the arm-bands are set to
the arms of the sea-god (or arm-bands to those who serve the god?), to
my heart is set regret for Yamato. The m. k. (9) applies to Ta(yuhi);
17, 18 are epithetical of _tama_, part of the m. k. _tamatasuki_
applied to _kakete_ (20).
21 _shimane_ is a designation of Yamato.
