Hitches: a knot that secures a rope to an object, often as a temporary
measure only, and thus one that can be undone or removed quite easily.
One advantage of a hitch is that it can be made directly about an object,
such as a post, without having to be formed first; see also backwall hitch,
bucket hitch, clove hitch (cast), clove hitch (turned), cow hitch, cow hitch
