noeud demi-clé clove hitch Explanation: What you refer to in your video is what I know as a "noeud demi-clé" which I know as a "clove hitch". Indeed, I see no reference in your source to "noeud coulissant". Unless I am mistaken, it seems that your starting point in the source is not correct. If you are certain that the video at the point indicated is the knot you need the term for, then "clove hitch" is what is used. Here's a similar source, similar context, attaching a buoy with a carabiner for freediving. (Note that a "noeud coulant" is known as a "running bowline" and again is different to the "bowline" which is commonly described as a "noeud de chaise". It is not the same thing as a "noeud coulissant".) My dad sailed and I sailed with him a little as a child. My ex-husband was a professional ocean-racing yachtsman for a large part of his working life. The whole family had no choice but to learn a few knots ! I ended up knowing more knots in French. If you are sure you need "noeud coulissant", then the video does not match your FR term. As before, possible confusion with "noeud coulant" (running bowline) but no signg of that one anyway so...). Check this video in EN for knots used in freediving. The "clove hitch" at 3:50 is shon clearly and is an exact match for your source. If you are working from an original text, then you might even discuss with your client whether they are sure about their choice of term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days 3 hrs (2020-12-31 13:08:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHKj87VGEH0&ab_channel=Freed... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days 3 hrs (2020-12-31 13:09:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Scratch the example sentence.

Ideally, they'd have a specialist for each area but that's not possible, we know. Example sentence(s):
