Double bowline isn't the same

Double bowline isn't the same as a bowline on a bight.

The german names "Doppelter Bulin" literal translation is double bowline but is in fact a bowline on a bight, which is one of two tie in knots recommended by the DAV.

Doppelter bulin - double bowline is a false friend...
