The metre of this uta is irregular and the style is not good. Of many of the words the sense is obscure. 1 _midori ko_, green, i.e. very young child. 2 _waku-go_ = _wakaki ko_. 5 = _kakuru_. 8 _hitsura_, perhaps _hitaura_, apparently plain-lined. 11 _yuhi-hata_ (_yuhata_), spotted by tying up portions and then dyeing the piece. 15 _yochi_, of like age. 17 Or _kaguro shi_. 21 _makimi_, the _mi_ is a suffix denoting manner, quality, quantity (I.), &c.
