- ↑ Woharida no omi. Woharida is a place in Yamato. The name seems to mean “little ploughed field.”
- ↑ Sakurawi no omi. Sakurawi is the name of a place in Kahachi, and signifies “cherry-tree well.”
- ↑ Kishida no omi. Kishida is a place in Yamato. The signification of the name is not clear.
- ↑ Heguri no Tsuku no sukune. Heguri is the name of a district in Yamato, and is of uncertain signification. Tsuku (modern dzuku), “owl,” is a name which is referred to a tradition that will be found in Motowori’s Commentary, Vol. XXII, p. 29.
- ↑ Heguri no omi.
- ↑ Sawara no omi. Sawara was perhaps a district in Chikuzen. The signfication of the name is obscure.
- ↑ Uma-mi-kuhi no murazhi. The literal significance of the characters with which Uma-mi-kuhi is written is “horse august post.” But whether this name had any relation to horses, or whether it should simply be regarded as the name of a place is quite uncertain.
- ↑ Ki no Tsunu no sukune. Ki is the name of a province, and Tsunu that of a district in another province,—the province of Suhau (Suwō). Conf. Note 37.
- ↑ Ki no omi.
- ↑ Tsunu no omi.
- ↑ Sakamoto no omi. Sakamoto is the name of a place in Idzumi, and signifies “base of the hill.”
- ↑ Kume no Ma-ito-hime. Kume may be, as Motowori says, the name of a place. But see Sect. XXXIV, Note 7. In any case the place, if it existed, was probably called after some person of the name of Kume. The signification of Ma-ito is obscure.
- ↑ Nu-no-iro-hime. The meaning of this name is obscure.
- ↑ Kadzuraki is the already frequently mentioned name of a district in Yamato, and Nagaye is likewise the name of a place,—whether in Yamato or in Kahachi is not certain. It signifies “long inlet.” Motowori thinks that the syllable so in this place is the same as the so of kuma-so, and signifies “valiant” or “fierce.”
- ↑ Tamade no omi. There is a Tamade in Yamato and another in Kahachi. The signification of the name is uncertain.
