with _mi_ (fruit) and various homophons.
=yamatadzuno=, m. k. of _mukahe_, opposite, face; _yamatadzu_ is
said to be a woodman’s axe carried always with the edge towards the
bearer to avoid injury and offence. No other explanation has been
offered. Except a vague reference to the homophon _yamatadzu_ (Sambucus
racemosa) which is opposite-leaved. The word might, however, in some
cases be an error for _yama tadzune_.
=yamiyonasu=, like a dark night; m. k. of _omohi-madohahi_, disordered,
distracted in thought (i.e. with love), 123.

(eight feet deep); used therefore with _ikitsuku_, catch breath, gasp.

_yasu i mo nezu_, not to sleep well.
=yasumishishi=, there are two explanations. One depends on the written
form _ya sumi shishi_, know (govern) eight corners, all corners, the
whole empire; the other in the verb _yasumu_, to rest, or _yasumi
suru_, _yasundzuru_, to make rest, pacify, debellare. The latter seems
the most reasonable; but that does not make it the real explanation. It
is always a m. k. of _waga ohokimi_, my great-lord, usually (but not
invariably) used in reference to the Sovran.
=Yoshikigaha=, the River Yoshiki, used with _yoshi_ (good, excellent).
=yufudzutsuno= (_dzudzu_), the evening star; m. k. of _yufube_
(evening); of _ka yuki kaku yuki_, hither, thither pass, with reference
to the appearance of the planet (Venus) now as an evening, now as a
morning star, 26.

flourish, 24.
=yufutatami=, a cloth of Broussonetia, folded up to present to a god;
m. k. of _tamuke_ (offering), Tamuke no yama (hill-name); of Tanakami
yama by sound-quibble reading for _tatami tatana (haru)_, a variant
of _tatamaru_.
=yukizhimono=, like snow; applied to _yuki kayohi_, go and come; the m.
k. is simply a sound-quibble.
=yukufuneno=, passage of a ship; m. k. of the passing of time.
=yukukageno=, in the phrase _yukukage no tsuki mo he-yukeba_, as the
moon with its passing light follows its course. Motowori thinks the
text is corrupt, and proposes _aratama_.
=yukukahano=, like the flowing river; applied to _sugi nishi hito_ (one
who has passed beyond--passed away, died).
=yukumidzuno=, running water; with _sugi_ (pass on, beyond); with _oto
mo sayakeku_ (distinct as the sound of running water); with _tayuru
naku_ (without cease); _todome-kane_ (not-delay), 198.
=yukutorino=, like birds taking flight; with _arasofu_ (struggle,
dispute, vie); with _murete samorahi_ (throng to render due service,
crowd), 24, 184.
=yutanemaki=, sow preparatory rice plants, a sound-quibble m. k.
applied to _yuyushiki_, manly, heroic.
