Nodome の留め
A Japanese name for a Munter-type hitch shaped like the hiragana の, used to add friction where rope crosses a line or on an upline.
Shibari Study’s glossary describes nodome (の留め) as a Munter hitch or girth hitch that adds friction, either where rope crosses a line or on a suspension upline, and explains the name by the knot’s resemblance to the hiragana の. It also lists tome musubi, a simple knot that relies on friction, as another name. Andrea Ropes reads dome as stopper and gives the longer form no-no-ji-dome (のの字留め), a stopper in the shape of the character no. Versions made the other way round are called uranodome and wadome; see also Munter hitch.
