Uchihaete aki wa kinikeri ki no kuni ya yura no misaki no ama no ukenawa

うちはへて秋は来にけり紀の国や
由良の岬の海人のうけ縄

Roma-ji: Uchihaete aki wa kinikeri ki no kuni ya yura no misaki no ama no ukenawa
English Translation: Stretching far and long,
autumn now has come at last—
Kii province, ah!
at the cape of Yura there,
the fishers' long float-lines.
Meaning: Stretching far and wide, autumn has come—like the long float-lines the fishers lay at the cape of Yura in the province of Kii.
Commentary: Autumn Poems 184

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Autumn comes to the seashore"
Like the float-lines the fishers stretch out long at the cape of Yura in Kii, autumn has come, spreading over everything. Bringing in the fishing gear of the shore, the poet gives visible shape to the breadth of autumn's arrival.
In the source text consulted, a character at the start of line 3 is missing and has been supplied from the Teika text's ki no kuni ya.

Line 1, uchihaete, means "stretching long, continuing on," and is a related word to the "float-lines" of line 5, both suggesting something stretched out.
Line 2: keri expresses realization, and the poem pauses here. The guess of the preceding poem, "autumn seems to have come to the sky," is here stated outright: "autumn has come."
Line 3: ya is an exclamatory particle; following Fukiage Beach in the preceding poem, the shore of Kii is sung again.
Line 4 names the cape of Yura in Kii.
Line 5 ends on a noun, giving last the long lines laid in the sea for fishing; through inversion it reveals what the "stretching" of line 1 is likened to.
