On a cursory reading, I see knots A..E **times 2** here
--the doubling coming from loading whichever ends.
(Actually, if one considers offset loading, there is yet
another multiplication (too late at night for me to think
about these)!)
There are some asymmetric eyeknot orientations seen in practice,
one of which has the SPart + parallel part's initial orientation
like "-A" here, but then the fold of the bight into the eye
breaks from this orientation into that of -"C", possibly induced
by torsion of the bight strands?! (It is seen, e.g., on the
cover of The Outdoor Knots Book (not my fault!).)
I'll have to refer to Life on a Line's image to see if either
of "-B"/"-D" are what Dave Merchant recommends there --for
strength, but perhaps mainly for ease of untying.
(Note, however, how many references show --often by echoed
imagery-- a pure flat tracing of the two ends, which in material
of a round cross section is impossible to sustain, if even effect!)
Hmmm, just tried "-E"/"4-Rings" in soft 12mm(?) 12-strande
multifilament (nylon?) and it immediately became "-A" !? Oh,
I loaded the upper left side (white) strand vs. its opposite
(and it became that loading of "-A").
