イカラカモイヽ
Ainu「如此星」
ikarakamuyguess
Ikarakamuy is a provisional reading of イカラカモイヽ. Kamuy is documented, while ikara and the final apparent iteration mark remain unexplained. The inherited ikarari kamuy follows the commentary’s extra リ, absent in this witness. Its “turning god” explanation is marked uncertain by Fukasawa; the independently documented ikarari and ikarkar concern embroidery. Nojiri reports a tentative embroidery-god comparison. Fukasawa also cites a later ikarkamuy/Coalsack proposal. These alternatives do not establish the complete historical name, a turning sense, or an exact celestial object.
