As English isn't my first language, I don't know the English words for different knots. Any translator fails on this part too.
Can someone point me to a source?
edit: Please also describe synonyms and who uses those. Backpackers or climbers may use different names than sailors.
It is better not to link to outside sources as they can disappear. Linking within SE would be safe(r).
