P. 42
Loop knots: true knots in which the rope is tied to itself to form a closed loop
that can be placed around an object (like a post), or to which an object can be
connected (like a carabiner). Loop knots may fit loosely or tightly around the
object and the size of the loop may be adjustable (known as sliding loops or
nooses) or fixed. See Part Five.
Bends: rope structures that tie the ends of two ropes together. Not true knots.
See Part Six.
