Coil: an arrangement of rope that keeps it orderly and prevents it from tangling
during storage or transportation. As a measure of basic rope care, coils are
covered in this part of the book, under Coiling for Storage.
Splice: a structure in which the strands of a rope are separated and then woven
together in order to: terminate the end of a rope to keep it from unraveling; form
an eye in the end of a rope; or join two ropes end-to-end. A splice is not a knot:
it is not tied, and it is considered permanent and never to be undone. Splices are
not covered in this book.
