Oh, now you worry me : what made the name popular
is more myth and fancy, IMO. And as I further think about
the “partially capsizing” abseil-ropes-joiner I had, IIRC it
was supposedly also of a “secure topology” (a brain-warping
term) --that of Ashley’s #1452 I think (!). Not sure
if I can find the thread here (or knot sketches within my
reach at my “here”). And, for reference knot-#s out of
[u]ABoK, “lanyard knot” #781 or thereabouts is the
pre-capsized version, to be loaded making it an “offset”
knot like the infamous “EDK” (offset water knot)
–prior to possible capsizing, that is!
