48 _nuka_ = _hitai_.
53 _tachi-azari_, wander about distractedly.
55 = _shibashiku_.
57 An old form of _ya-ya_.
65 to lie supine.
68 = _tobitsu_. Here read _’aga ko … michi wo tobashitsu_.
vv. 1-10 are introductory to Furuhi--they form a pre-adjunct.
11-28 _shiga_--describes Furuhi’s manner--the words _iza neyo … nemu_
being his; 28-34 the father’s hopes; 35-40 suggest the boy’s illness;
41-54 the prayers and despair of the father; 55-62 the gradual decline
and death of Furuhi; 63 to end, the father’s grief at his loss.
This lay repays close study as an example of the language of the
Manyôshiu.
For _shiratamano_, _shikitaheno_, _sakikusano_, _ohobuneno_,
_shirotaheno_, _tamakiharu_ see List m. k.
