* ↑ There are few various readings of the text of these poems. Where any occur, the translator has been guided by the decisions of Motowori and Moribe. Occasionally these two authorities differ as to the division of the words into lines, and Moribe in particular does not hesitate to propose such emendations as seem to him necessary. The translator has in almost all cases adhered to the traditional text, but gives in foot-notes such emendations as appear worthy of notice. Moribe’s division of the lines being in almost every case preferable to Motowori’s, it has however here been generally adopted.
* ↑ Motowori reads Magishi Atane tsuki as two lines.
* ↑ Motowori reads Sagiri ni Tatamu zo as two lines.
* ↑ Motowori reads Mi tani Futa watarasu as two lines.
* ↑ Motowori reads Uda no Taka-ki ni as two lines.
* ↑ Moribe emends haru to hari.
* ↑ Motowori divides these lines thus: Tachi-soba no mi no Nakeku wo.
* ↑ Motowori reads gomoreru as a line by itself, and similarly uruhashi as a line by itself.
* ↑ Moribe restores the reading of the first line of this poem to Nadzuki-ta no, and both he and Motowori suggest conjectural concluding lines to supplement the evidently incomplete text. Moribe’s are very elegant: Shi ga tsura no I-hahi motohori Motohorite Ke-naki tohedomo Koto mo norasanu.
* ↑ Moribe reads Umi-ga ha isahofu as one line. It is difficult, on any method of division, to find rhythm in this Song.
* ↑ Motowori strangely makes Mi ki no Aya ni into two lines. The syllable ki in the last line of the Song is supplied by Moribe.
* ↑ Motowori divides these lines thus: Hana mi ha shi Hishi nasu. He also proposes here to divide the poem in two.
* ↑ Motowori divides these lines thus: Mayo-gaki ko ni Kaki tare.
* ↑ The defective text of this line is restored by the help of the parallel passage in the “Chronicles.”
* ↑ Moribe proposes to emend the second half of this poem to Koto nagushi we Kokoro-gushi we Ware wehi ni keri.
* ↑ Near the commencement of this Song Motowori divides the lines thus: Watari-ze ni Tateru Adzusa-yumi Ma-yumi and again at the end: I-kirazu zo kuru Adzusa-yumi Ma-yumi.
* ↑ See Sect. CXXII, Note 4 for his doubtful word.
