23 This reading differs from Motowori’s, which is _yori-kagure_, _yuki_
= _yuki-kaheri_, involving frequency of the action denoted by _kagahi_
= _kake-ahi_, i.e. the meeting of both sexes.
33, 34 are more intelligible if _ka_ is read after _tanashirite_.
3 to stand treading on the ground, stand awhile there--or to stand as
usual there or stand often there?
For _toriganaku_ see List m. k.
125
Unahi wotome ga haka wo mite [yomeru].
