Not so fast!

“Kellig h.” (and assorted other spellings of “k.”)  
is usually associated with what can be seen as  
a larkshead/cow hitch with the tail dogged back  
around a part (and sometimes shown broadly  
spaced parts as a timber h. + half-hitch).

AND, IIRC --book not at my side-- the more like  
knot in [u][ABoK](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/9845) has a different dressing,  
such that the bight turns back around the SParts,  
and not the other way 'round!?  
(will make note to check this)
