Why isn't the Anti-Bowline just called a Sheet Bend Bowline?
"anti-bowline" is my term for a subset of *bowlines*
--by which I mean those eyeknots in which the SPart makes
a loop (circle) that nips other parts and feeds into the eye--
in which the tail enters the SPart's loop from the other side
than it does for the
bowline (#1010)--akin to "anti-cyclone" and relevant "anti-clockwise"
indications of direction. So, you see that it's primarily
a general classification, not some particular knot
(and that "bowline" is used in
three senses : general
of all eyeknots with a central nipping loop; the subset of
those in which the tail enters this loop from the one side;
and the particular, venerable knot that Ashley numbers "1010"!).
But were one to look for one particular "anti-bowline",
I'd say its one in which the tail makes a simple loop through
the SPart's loop, and so unlike any
sheet bend.--dl*
