かたる
to tell, to talk
Speech with five mouths going at once round a low table, and the story gets longer every time it comes round. The cat かた in the middle of it has heard this four times tonight. Nobody is going home: かたる.
Heavier than 話す. You 語る a story, a memory, something worth the telling, not the price of fish.
