Kanbun reading of this expression


I was wondering if someone could help me with the kanbun reading of this text:

> 這箇是誰誰是我. (It is an expression used by Dôgen in Eihei kôroku 9, 55).

Although I am unsure, I figured one possible reading might be:

> 是【これ】這箇【しゃこ】は 誰【だれ】是【これ】我【われ】は 誰【だれ】.




The 1988 Shunjusha edition of Dogen (ed. Kagamishima Genryu 鏡島元隆) gives this
reading:

> 這箇はこれ誰そ誰かこれ我
>
> kore wa kore ta so, tare ka kore ware

"Who is this? Who am I?" (or more provocatively "... is me?")

Points that might interest you:

  * 這箇 _can_ be pronounced "shako" but in most of the kanbun I've seen it's just assigned the reading "kore"

  * When 是 is used as a copula, as it is here, the "kore" is normally put just before the predicate, not at the start of the sentence: "X是Y" → "X (wa), kore Y" → (En.) "X is Y"

  * 誰 is traditionally "ta(re)" in kanbun rather than "dare", because the rules for kanbun were set down before the first consonant of "tare" became voiced a couple of centuries ago
