The "
Buntllne Extinguisher"

or
"Constrictor noose" presented in this thread is identical to the hitch
pdc 39 ( =
proximal -
distal -
clove, which also has been related to the
Buntline hitch ), shown by Charles Warner and Pieter van de Grient at
Knotting Matters 61, p. 44 ( Sept. 1998 ). The authors describe it as a "
secure but rather clumsy hitch".
The "
Serpent noose" is identical to the hitch
pdn 19 ( =
proximal -
distal -
non-alternate ), shown at the same article, at p. 43. The authors describe it as a "satisfactory jamming noose".
(*) The
c of the
clove should better be read as the
c of the
constrictor, in this case - but, in any case, the
Constrictor itself is not but a
Clove with an additional twist of the Tail Ends underneath the riding turn...
