The first is a variation of the Eskimo Janus bowline(s
No, the Eskimo bwl. is an *anti*-bowline and collars the eye leg --this is/does neither.
It ( first) collars the eye leg + the rim of the nipping loop
No, it
wraps the
turNip --and is no more "collar"
to the eye leg than to the SPart, as noted (despite the bias
in layout in the image).
I had not said that it is an "Eskimo" (-) bowline = "anti-bowline", had I ?
I did; it is : that is why the eye leg is collared
--because of the opposite-side ("anti-bwl" side) entry.
The characteristic that makes it a variation of the "Eskimo" bowline is the L-shaped returning eye leg.
In the "common" bowlines, the returning eye leg goes straight to the U-turn around the standing end.
That's not a good discrimination/definition. The
Eskimo bwl starts
(i.e., the name originates with ...) a collaring of the "wrong" side
courtesy of tail entry similarly "wrong". Variations spring from
this, and interruptions to this fundamental path fit among
these --so, binding the
turNip is just such an "interruption"
en route to defining structure.
Were I to accept that the tail's initial wrap is a defining
attribute, I'd see "straight" as logical --i.e., w/o any other
structure/shape--, and the
Eskimo bwl having the tail
go "straight" to the collar. Then, it might be that one
speaks of "collared" (as an extension/addition)
Myrtle /
bollard loop knots per side of entry --giving the definitional
prominence to the tail's initial (wrapping) vs. subsequent
(collaring) path (to which a finishing wrap would fit in
with my label "end-bound", as in
"EBDB").
