This sense, however, is not altogether admissible. 17 to end: read as if _[kono hito] ha tare no kokoro wo itohoshite ka mo kachi-watarikemu_. For _tamahokono_, _isanatori_ see List m. k. 194 Tori-ga-ne mo 1 kikoyenu umi ni takayama wo hedate ni nashite okitsu mo wo 5 makura ni nashite akitsu ha no kinu dani kizu ni isanatori umi no hama-be ni 10 ura mo naku inetaru hito ha omo chichi ni manago ni ka aramu wakakusano 15 tsuma ka aruramu omohoshiki koto tsutemu ya to ihe toheba ihe wo mo norazu 20 na wo tohedo na dani mo norazu nakukonasu koto dani tohazu omohedomo 25 kanashiki mono ha yo no naka ni ari. 1-4 The full sense of these lines it is not easy to make out. 7, 8 A very obscure passage. Some commentators suppose a silken garment, the produce of an insect (_yamamai_, wild silkworm), to be intended. The explanation most in accordance with the text (as emended in the Kogi) is to take _akidzu ha_ as meaning the wing of a dragon-fly. The passage would then be interpreted as it is in the translation q. v. 11 _ura mo naku_, without heart, feeling, dead to external impressions. 17 = _omohoshiki_ (_omohashiki_) _koto_, something thought of, thought of with regret, love, &c.: _omohi_ = be in a state of intellectual or emotional consciousness. 23, 24 unable to speak, like a puling infant. For _isanatori_, _wakakusano_, _nakukonasu_ see List m. k. 195 Tamahokono 1 michi ni idetachi ashihiki no mi yuki yama yuki tada watari 5 kaha yuki watari isanatori umi ji ni idete fuku kaze mo oho ni ha fukazu 10 tatsu nami mo nodo ni ha tatazu kashikoki ya Kami no watari no shiki nami no 15 yosuru hama he ni taka yama wo hedate ni okite urasu wo makura ni makite 20 ura mo naku koyaseru kimi ha omo chichi no manago ni mo aramu wakakusano 25 tsuma mo aramu to ihe tohedo ihe ji mo ihazu na wo tohedo na dani mo norazu 30 taga koto wo itohoshimi ka mo shiki nami no kashikoki umi wo tada watarikemu. 35 (1)
