neutral  12316323 (X): The pictures make it seem like it could be logical. Does amarre = capstan? Or is that the only logical shape for a holdback that you tie something (the tieback?) around?

  -> "Capstan" is the "amarre" used for tying up boats/ships. Capstans have a typical shape. Other shapes include hooks, clasp/clips, etc.
