| Elingage en cravate Choker hitch Explanation: I found the following YouTube videos to be really useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9-pdIiQcr8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il4u-97_dQg I am a lot more familiar with lifting and rigging (levage et élingage) in the nuclear power industry where élingue = sling & élingage = rigging. In this particular context, I would go with the term hitch, which would cover the élingage part of the source term. |
