hawser bowline, extra step winding the collar legs on

Practical Knots

I finally got what you meant previously, hence the attached profile.

Yea! (My head spins on figuring out very-alike-but-maybe-not knots!)

… the laws of anti-BWL construction

I’m no longer of the “anti-bowline” uttering, given the better
term for what I wanted (in coining “a-b”) of “backside”
–a reference to, as you note, the RELeg entry coming
into the nipping loop from the opposite direction to what
is done in good ol’ #1010 (BWL).
Which tends to make the nipping loop go helical,
but one finds different degrees of this in different knots.
(And, hey, I’ve seen many cases of In-The-Wild actual-use
BWLs un"loop" into quite helix’d forms reasonably begetting
the name “pile-hitch noose” for the structure!)
And in this case you show, things stay better together.

thanks for the pics and chats for browsing! for a while i’ve been limited by my understanding of what’s meant by a girth hitch; i guess i could’ve just asked!
it appears to be (a pair of) reverse half hitches imposed through the nipping loop?, but by this time my eyeballs have merged into one central eyeball as a result of confusion.
also i remember seeing (your) posts on anti girth hitches, up for another browse \:eye:/
