… what I’ve called “end-bound…” is just this knot but with the extension wrap of the tail doing something more useful : nipping and locking (as best it is able, which isn’t always so great/enough) the main nipping loop (which is reciprocating). Turn that tail over the crossing point of the main turNip ! I prefer this in the double bowline body, where this extra wrap will have 3 diameters within it (best approximating a circle).
But I have seen even that knot, tied in some recalcitrant, firm, soft-laid, slick, thin (4mm?) polypropylene hold only briefly, than all the round turns just simultaneously loosened/expanded !!

The Lee s locked bowline, presented recently, is a much better knot.
