Continuous Crowning Using the Crown Sennit as a Covering Knot - How to Tie a Continuous Crown Knot
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2017
- How to Tie a Continuous Crown Using the Crown Sennit as a Covering Knot; This is a relatively easy way to use the Crown Knot as a covering knot, say for example to cover the handle of a ditty bag or Cat of Nine Tails.
This is a relatively easy way of covering a long object with a decorative knot. However, I will warn first timer that doing this particular sennit can be rather sore on the fingers. This covering knot is usually combined with a Turk's Head Knot or other covering knot, in order to hide the start and finish of the Crown Sennit.

Johnny I can't begin to tell you how good it is to get your in depth explanations for these knots. Thanks
Thanks for this. It has been particularly helpful with regards to noting how you hold the used strands down. 😃
Glad it was helpful! Yes, stopping those strands from coming loose is a bit of a problem. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Good to be watching your tutorials again; it's been a while. Had a good laugh on this one. (Your narrative around 10:55.) Been trying to figure out these damn turkshead knots. These Crown Sennits may be tedious but a walk in the park compared to turksheads. Thank you.
Very nice, I would have loved to see the ditty bag handle preparation, but it's alright.
All the best!
If you like Ditty Bags, you may enjoy some fine examples on this post: igkt-solent.co.uk/ditty-bag-collection/ Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots Thank you very much!
That is a lovely collection, and very inspiring too: I'll do my best to have one day my personal ditty bag at least comparable to them 🙂
Thank you so much for this clear tutorial ! My husband has begun making walking sticks and I think this would make them even nicer. As a knitter, I think I would use a removable stitch marker on the first loop so I'd never loose track, or the loop. I'm sure I will be using many of your tutorials in the future. Again, thank you.
Many thanks for your comment. If your husband is covering walking sticks, he may like Grafting: th-cam.com/video/34oBSzsed3s/w-d-xo.html or there is also a Long Turks Head: th-cam.com/video/MGNodpJTdxE/w-d-xo.html Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for bringing it together for me. I learned how to do crown knots to tie in back splices, but it never occurred to me that you could do ornamental work simply by continuing them. Thought your demo was great. Must be he'll to keep eight cords from tangling or pulling out when you're getting started.
Hello Jay, many thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment. Yes, it is an absolute snakes wedding towards the end of the cords. This one is not too difficult, but there is a similar method of going over two rather than the one. It is all fairly easy till you get to the last two. Then if becomes difficult remembering where the last two are supposed to go. Am I convincing you to take up decorative knotting?
I like the fact that you put in the frustration and pain aspect of this, especially going from 4 strands to 6 or more. However, knot tying is a passion few can become proficient. I liked your channel as it is. Its real, not over polished for the material presented which, in my opinion, is better. I know a lot of people want more and more but you're doing fine. Thanks for the time and effort!
That is good of you to say Marty. I find now when doing the videos I am trying to do more in one take. However, I am sure that people do not want to see me sipping a cup of coffee, so I now tell them that is what I am doing. Do you have some of your work to view on-line?
I must apologise for a late reply. No, I don't have any on youtube, I do have a few pics on facebook. I think we are in the same knotting group however. Mateloteurs I think.
Yes, we are both members of that group. Tag John Peart next time you post a picture?
I will.
First visit! Thank you - very interesting, informative and very well put across.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
First visit and most impressed thanks. Excellent video complements your easy to understand discussion of what to do. Look forward to trying this out!!
What will you be using it for? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots Just revisiting some old skills I used to pass the time with when on sweepers back in the late 60's. Used to make all sorts of gizzits and the lockdown has given me the urge to retry them. If a 'sparker' can follow your vids you are doing an excellent job!!! Many thanks
@@nicklee9435 You were based in Vernon then? I was there in the late 70's, buffers party and PCG. Ex stoker myself, never tied a knot till about 5 or 6 years ago. I only started the channel to help me to remember how to tie the damn things. Good to meet you Tanzy!
Love the videos. Just getting into the more traditional decorative work myself and really appreciate being able to learn from others.
Good to hear, would love to see some of your decorative work.
Listening to how to tie a knot can be very repetitive but you somehow make it enjoyable.
Thank you
Some people do say that I talk too much, yet others enjoy it and find it easy to follow along. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank You!
You're welcome!
Excellent demonstration. I'm making a becket for a sea chest, and needed to learn crowning to cover the throat. Thanks for the education.
Yes I watched and learned this from you ! But yes hard on hand if you don't have beat up hands like mine and no feeling ! Thanks love your videos because their no bs
I remember every ditty bag project that I do, mainly because of the pain in making the crowned handle. You just had to pull it so tight on every strand. However, when complete you feel really chuffed.
I learned a new one today. Thank you bro.
Glad that you liked it. You may also be interested in Grafting: th-cam.com/video/34oBSzsed3s/w-d-xo.html there are also a few different variations of this too.
Very nice Johnny!!

I am glad that it helped you, what are you planning on making?
@@KnottingKnots I'm in the process of making a few things. I just learned how to braid with paracord a few months ago. I'm making little animals for kids, easter baskets and a whip. I'm wanting to use this braid on the body of a unicorn I'm trying to make and a handle on a flogger. Lol so I'm all over the place. I've just been trying new things to see if I can do it 🤣

As an avid sailor knots are an important bit of life. Very complete and valuable instructions. Very useful on board my sailboat. Thanks
I am glad that you liked it and many thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, much appreciated.
Well done. Cheers for that. I think I’ll have a go at using this as a handle wrap on a white cane for a mate.
Yes, it certainly does look good on a staff. You may want to consider Rib Hitching or Spiral Hitching also. You could combine both and vary the widths etc to create different patterns? They are both here at the top of this section: goo.gl/qX1tnc
Finally starting to understand thanks to your teaching style John. Thankyou 👍

Love it love knots
Thank you for popping in and leaving a comment. Are you a practical or decorative knotter?
Johnny Debt I just in joy it diffant knots it good to know I would like to start making things with paracord and that all good fun
Paracord is great for getting into the world of knotting. Once you have done that, take a look at making things with natural cordage. It is all fun, except for the sore fingers and frustration!!
Ojala tuviera subtitulos en español seria genial
Really lovely pattern and also easy but it seems pulling is difficult.thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful wrap.
Yes, sometimes tightening up can be a bit of a chore. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I remember learning this stuff in seamanship school at HMS Raleigh but then became a sundodger and forgot a lot you vids are good for helping me relearn
When were you in Raleigh, I was there in 76? Basic training, then off to Sultan. Skimmer!!!!
98 then to collinggrad then faslene
I liked the way your thumb held the line passed over it made me understand it faster. Thank you for the video, the brown back ground is better then your white background.

Actually, that leather is what was left over from my last ditty bag! I like it as there is no glare or shiny reflections from the suede side.
Yeah, thanks for viewing and leaving a comment!!! I have seen some of your work and it is brilliant. Thanks for showing it to me on FB.
I love all of your videos, this looks really good, I will try it in paracord, I don’t have enough rope to do this in. I did the Turks head and turned it in to a nice pad for a vase. I only have one question what is a didy bag? Is it like a sea bag or duffel bad as we call it the army.
So sorry to hear that you were in the Army, remember Royal Navy rules!!! 😉 😉 😉 Yes, give it a go with Paracord. A Ditty Bag is a simple bag for you bits and pieces, BUT it is a great way of showing off your knotting and sewing skills. Here is a link to a few Ditty Bags: igkt-solent.co.uk/?s=Ditty+bag&x=0&y=0
Another great video!
Cheers, thanks for saying.
Great video, as usual! I have an aluminum tiller I'd like to cover but it seems that this technique might be tricky. I recently used a similar technique to make a rope fender which came out pretty nice. I love your presentation style and enthusiasm. I really liked the specific details about the type of cordage and the ratio needed. Thanks for all the hard work!
Cheers Ben for popping over and leaving a comment. I wonder if the tiller would be better off with a long 4 bight TH or perhaps some Moku Hitching finished with a TH at each end. I love the idea of the rope fender, do you have a photo anywhere that I can see it?
I was actually thinking that the technique from your 2 bight multi lead TH video might be great for the tiller. Since the tiller has a larger diameter I was thinking I should use a thicker cord. I haven't seen moku hitching yet, I'll have to check it out! It seems like the perfect application for some nice rope work because the aluminum gets pretty hot in the sun, and also the previous owner drilled a few unsightly holes in it. I have a picture of the rope fender that I'll post when I get a sec. I used the video from Mikko Snellman as a guide and it came out pretty well, although not nearly as well as his did. But when I said it was a similar technique I meant instead of continuous crowning it was a continuous wall knot around 5 pieces of the same rope. One request: I needed to do a seizing for that project and I have a book that explains how to do it and I found a few videos, but I was still a little unsure of how to do it. Maybe you could do a video on whippings and seizings some day. Thanks again!
The problem with the two bight TH is that on larger diameter handles, it does tend to loose its shape. A four bight may be better. Here th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHf8IAYWCPhfWLFA-RW7e2tH.html are some of the covering knots that I have done so far. A tiller would look good with French Hitching or the Moku. You can then dress the start and finish with a Turks Head. Would love to see it when it is done?
Thanks again! I think the French hitching might be great for the tiller since it seems to provide such a good grip. I'll try it out and get some pics.
Just as a little tip, if you have got some sturdy gloves, you may need them to protect your hands. When you do a long distance, it does start to cut in as you tighten the hitching.
Awesome camera work, and a great tutorial.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
I enjoy making things but do mostly decorative knotting. I was watching this because I'm planning a walking stick for my sister and wanted a nice wrapped handle and like the looks of the continuous crowning with the Turksheads on each end.
Yes, an excellent present for your sister. Please do let me see your completed project?
Would you be able to do a video on Coachwhipping ? Similar application and technique/process,
right ?
Fantastic! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
In fact, I'm just a beginner. Yutube represents a lot of videos, but there are very few high-quality instructions with beautiful knots and a competent instructor with correct understandable speech and comments.
I am very glad that I found your channel. Thanks again.
Well thank you so much for that. Yes, YT can be an awful place at times, shouting and "wattsup" and then there are those who think their life is interesting on film, when so not! ;-) I see that you are a Motorhead fan, I remember seeing them in the late 70's at some bike rally in Wales.
Thank you. I envy you - now Motorhead is no more - like DIO, and Supermax
Looks Great John, how does the rope core which forms your eye at the top transition to the cords that attach to the bag? Is there parceling or tape under the hitching to make it smooth like your pipe demo? Keep it up, your videos are brilliant. John
If I remember correctly, I spliced the rope, but as I spliced it I cut out 50% of the strands on each tuck, This formed a taper. I don't recall wrapping the cord prior to it being a core for the Crowning over the top. Have you got any of your work to view online?
What is the marlin spike you use to point. Been looking for a nice one like that.
Hello Scott, you may find this post I did a while ago useful, as it lists a couple of suppliers: igkt-solent.co.uk/knotting-tools-video/
Thanks for the new drinking game. I drink each time you say "passes over the one next to it"... I passed over in my chair about halfway through. Will try again tomorrow. 😃
Being ex RN, I approve of that game! 😉 😉 😉
Joking aside, the video is very helpful. Thank you for making it.
Is there a multiplier to work out how much cordage I would need for a continuous crowning sennet on a much fatter tube please
I really wish there was, trouble is that this comes with experience. I am sure someone somewhere has kept notes for doing this................ sadly I didn't.
Is the length you listed per strand? You didn't say.
I was also wondering how it would look if you used 2 different colors, so 5 strands of one color and 5 strands of another color and alternate them around the core or arrange them half and half. Could you make videos demonstrating those concepts?
Because I fell in love with those beautiful hands...LOL
Thanks for the inspiration, I've been wanting to do some marlin spike work, but have been put off by the apparent complexity.
So good of you to leave a comment. Do not worry about trying to learn it all, just start off slow and gentle. Gradually it all clicks and you understand where the cord goes even though it is hidden within the knot. I remember for years I hated the star knot, but I hated it because I could not tie it (or too afraid to tie it). Just remember when you see these videos, you are only seeing the good bits. I have a whole herd of mistakes that have been cut! When you make something, drop me a line to show it to me.
Depending on the diameter of both the cord and the object covered. I am guessing you can vary the number of cords used?
Yes, that is correct. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you for creating these videos. I love to watch your technique. One suggestion which I would make is to use multi-colored cords when you show your knots. I think it would be easier to see some of the more troublesome knots. Thank you again!!!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Love your channel .. I have started to make some whips and looking for different ways to cover the handles . You explain things so well . Do you ever tie the knots with leather strips ?
I have never tied using leather, for me it seems like it could be very difficult. Do you tie in leather?
Johnny Debt .. no I haven't tried it yet . I have used paracord but fancy having a go with leather . Makes it more tricky as you have 2 sides to the hide .
You might try overhand and underhand grafting for your whip handles with round cord. I prefer under hand for the looks and feel. It's kind of a pain to set up you can use a turks head to hide.
You guys really will have to show me your whips!!!
Johnny Debt. I have 2 I'm making .. both 3 foot snake whips . Once I have finished them I will show you . They aren't that good as first attempts
Love your tutorials, easy to follow and you don't get your hands in the way. Speaking of getting in the way, the adds for your other videos almost blocked the info on how much cordage to use per inch.
I am sorry about that, the more I do the better my video and editing skills become, well I hope so. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Is it possible to make a diamond pattern with 2 color strand with this knot?
I am not sure that this method would give you what you are looking for, maybe what you are looking for is, the triaxial weave paracord: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=triaxial+weave+paracord
would you pour hot Waters on it when finished to tighten it up?
Hello Neil, thanks for popping in to view and leave a comment. I personally have never boiled or put boiling water on my work. I really can not comment as to whether or not this is a good thing to do. When I tighten up my work, I like to ensure that it is really tight without loosing a good definable knot. What I will do on occasion is to coat my work with a finishing solution here: th-cam.com/video/G9iI7Rm33io/w-d-xo.html This is more to protect the work, so that it can be washed at a later date. This method does also make the work nice and stiff, depending on what ratio of mixture I use. Are you a knotter?
Johnny Debt I have heard this technique when using power cord it will slightly tighten it up.
I think there just may be a video in the future to look at the benefits of doing this?
I have just found your channel and find your instruction very easy to follow. Thank you very much for doing what you do.
How do you keep it from slipping? I'm trying to tie this on an incredibly well sanded wood handle that is tapered and it keeps sliding towards the small end. I tried a Turk's head, but it did the same thing.
Perhaps try some white masking tape on the object, as that is less slippery. Maybe also working from thin end towards fat end may also help?
@@KnottingKnots The masking tape might work. I'll have to try it.
I started at the thin end, when you tug too hard on the cords it slides down. I'm wanting to cover the end of the handle with a modified crown knot made into a globe knot.
It's a tri-blade tool that I have made a sheath for using popsicle sticks and masking tape. I then covered it using your video on the extended 2 bight Turk's head knot. When I am finished, I'll send you a picture.
@@equesdeventusoccasus Would love to see it, you can send a picture here, but do let me know: bit.ly/yourknotwork
Nice video I made an ocean plait yesterday I'm 12 years old so yeah
That is brilliant! How do you find cordage, it is so expensive, at 12 you must be doing a hundred paper rounds to pay for the stuff!! Got any photos on-line to view some of your work?
Is it a good idea to do this over a glass water bottle?
Probably better to use spiral hitching or rib hitch for something so slippery. Here is a link to both: *Spiral Hitching:* igkt-solent.co.uk/hitching-spiral/ *Rib Hitching:* igkt-solent.co.uk/rib-hitching-vertical-hitching/
How are you fingers after continuous crowning?
Johnny Debt dose it matter on how many strands you use johnny
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. When doing the crown knot I generally consider the minimum to be 3 strands. When doing it with up to four strands you do not need a core. However if say for example you use six strands without a core, the work tends to form a bit of a spiral in on itself. In general, when I cover and object, I try to lay a strand, then leave a gap of a strand and so on. However, this spacing does not have to be precise. Are you a knotter, decorative or practical?
Johnny Debt well I used to mess around wit paracord bracelets but moved on to watch a lot of what u do so things like turks,mate crowning and just love it I am a beginner to so that's why I asked thanks
Don't get me wrong, I do like paracord, but my favourite is making stuff using natural cordage. The big problem with that is, it is so difficult to get hold of in some places. If you want I can give you some links to great Facebook groups, where you will see some amazing work?
I outgrew, for want of another word, paracord bracelets and the like after I "discovered" some of the more technical and historical aspects of knotting; Turks Head, Matthew Walker, et al. Last night I tied a bellrope keyfob with 550 paracord, which was an interesting project. I didn't like the first attempt, so I untied it and did it again. The 2nd attempt came out much better. I didn't have a rope thimble handy, and too damn lazy to go get one, so it got left out. I'll get a photo uploaded to Johnny's viewer photos page shortly. See link in description.
Two things I was hoping you would mention:
1) Over-2 crowning. Instead of going over the strand to the right, go over two strands (Don't forget to go through TWO loops with the last strand though!). The overall effect is much the same but it is easier to tighten as the strands retain their tension better. Works better when covering a soft core.
2) With crowning, you can start in the middle of your work and crown to one end and then turn it around and crown to the other end. Makes it easier to hold your work some times.
Yes I agree with you about over 2, it certainly does hold the work better. It took me ages to get the hang of that one, kept getting it wrong with the last two cords. Unfortunately I can not do all in one video, but it is coming up shortly. Bit of Grafting next. Yes, I completely forgot to mention starting in the middle, funny I did mention something similar in a previous video. I think one day I will do a complete bell rope video with a number of nice bells and whistles. I don't think I will ever get to the standard of some of the good bell rope makers, I have the skills, but the patience and artistic flare eludes me!!!
Oh, and thanks for the glimpse at your ditty bag handle made with a rope core. I've been meaning to get started on one made this way and seeing yours gave me the final kick. I used a Flemish Eye (and ringbolt hitching) though so I could avoid having to crown over the lumpy splice. Maybe you could cover the Flemish Eye in a future video.
When I did mine, I just did a normal eye splice, but took 50% of the core out on each tuck. This created the taper. Will look into Flemish Eye.
Thanks for the inspiration: i.imgur.com/GZp2OR4.jpg
Brilliant, nothing better than a good bell rope! Do you have a bell to hang it from?
I am wanting to make a water bottle holder and I was thinking of using this method - I guess I would have to use more cords as the diameter of the bottle is 23cm. Other than this do you think it's a good idea? Love your videos - great explanations and especially like the additional information on how to use the knots in various situations - thanks for your time
I have never seem it used to make a bottle wrap, but I do not see why not. I think another solution and less agro would be to us a spiral half hitch, just keep the knots closer together. Spiral Hitching: goo.gl/zuUpWg also would be easier to do. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I was thinking ringbolt hitchs.
I want to use this knot to cover a splice in a dog leash. The leash is 20mm Diameter. how much cord would I need to cover 4 inches of the lead?
My general rule of thumb is, for every inch of work, I will need about 1ft of line. We are talking about each line going round the object. Mmm, that was a clear as mud..............
can you use 2 colors 5 each ?
Yes, you can use colours to suit your requirements. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I really enjoy and learn from your videos. Your sharing of knowledge is very much appreciated!
I like how you started with the Mathew walker knot and transitioned to the crowning making it one single solid unified knot. But there is no instruction as to how one would add a Turks Head knot on the opposite end.
It would be appreciated if you would demonstrate the method used to attach a separate knot on the end . . . . . Of this or any other knot.
I have been Unable to find this information on anyone’s video.
Thanks,
Richard
Hello Richard, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. To put a Turks head on the other end, you simply need to loosely tie a Turks head knot. That is then slipped over the top of your work to cover ugly ends from your previous work. Then tighten the Turks head down nice and tight. Here is a video of tying a very simple Turks head on your hand: th-cam.com/video/6pL0HHYciQc/w-d-xo.html
I really like the bell-rope cord pattern and would want to use for making my own nunchakus. I have a request; would you be able to make a tutorial for me, with adjustable cord in the middle for the 2 handles.. My hands are much smaller and therefor the nunchucks I buy in the shops are not reacting as good as I want them to, because I cannot adjust the cord in the middle of the 2 handles. the handles of the nunchucks would be 25 cm low in my case. adjustable connecting rope 7 or 8 cm. only with rope. Thanking you in advance. Kind regards. Ellen
I am afraid that I know very little about nunchucks. I would presume that because of the forces involved, it would be very difficult to have some form of an adjustable knot in the middle. Perhaps if one of the handles had a hole drilled through it, then the cord could be tied off to the correct length, and adjustable when required? I also notice that some are chains rather than cords, does this make a difference?
What is the name of the knot on the handle of the punch you use?
I think you are referring to my Marlin Spike, the knot used on that is, I have a blog post and video about that here: igkt-solent.co.uk/french-hitching/
@@KnottingKnots Thank you very much!
The another knots, are maked with ten stands toó?
I don't know if you mentioned it but how long are the cords?
I just watched the video through and yes I did mention that the measurement would be at the end of the video. They are not there, have even searched my files for the measurements. However, if I recall about an inch uses just under a foot of cord. I will see if I can find the exact measurements and get back to you. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Johnny Debt I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am in the process of redoing my hiking stick. I'll be using this pattern. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I live in sunny Florida, USA. Thanks again my friend!
Would love to see a photo when complete?
Johnny Debt will do buddy.
I have finally finidhed my walking stick. How can I share photos with you? I'm not happy with the turks head on top though. Any suggestions for the top?
Enjoyed your tutorial , however I think you may have used a bit more then 2.66" of cordage. ;-) Cheers.
To be honest, it was so long ago, I do not remember.
Please, tell me the names of another knots, thankful. Luis...
9:49 "Not to tight". I was waiting for him to say, No pun intended. Lol
Seen your profile pic, you still serving?
@@KnottingKnots Retired in 2007. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You probably got the idea by now. Can you give us the the cord lengths first so we can work along with the video please?
You didn’t include length per cm of cordage
When doing decorative knotwork, a very rough guide is for every inch you want to cove, you will need about a foot of rope. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I've been most successful tightening the crown knots in the same direction I tie them. Otherwise, tightening right to left loosens the one to the right. It may just be me.
No, it is not just you................ I struggle too! I have heard that doing it over two can help??
@@KnottingKnots Over 2 crowning has a very different appearance but I haven't noticed it being easier to tighten. The difference between slippery synthetic material and natural fibers is significant, though. Even a single crown knot in manila as part of a back splice holds very firm. I've watched nylon cord loosen sitting on the table. You are on my short list of subscribed knotting content providers. Thanks.
Strands
Too much verbiage. You often say the same thing three times.
Yeah I know, I am still learning this video/teaching malarkey. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Why do you decide to not say how long the strands should be until the end? Lol
To be really honest with you, that was back in the day when TH-cam rewarded you for getting people to watch longer.............. I stopped all that faffing about in my latest videos. I now do what the people want. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Too much blabla
I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them?
Dont to much speak.
Ooooo, you liked it that much you had to comment twice ;-)
4.5 minutes of nonsensical babble.
