Swedish term
bladkvist / sprötkvist
Swedish to English
Other
Forestry / Wood / Timber
"bladkvist" and "sprötkvist" are both translated into English as "spike knot" by the sources I've found.
However, I found the following Swedish-language definitions of these terms, which indicate that they are not synonyms:
"[bladkvist:] i längdriktningen genomskuren kvist som slutar före virkesstyckets kant"
"[sprötkvist:] starkt uppåtriktad, ofta barkdragande kvist"
How can "bladkvist" and "sprötkvist" be translated in order to reflect this difference?
Thanks

spike knot / splay knot
My TNC book has 'spike know for both of these terms...
Found other possibilities at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:52502:en
Pin knot, branched knot, encased knot (this latter involves bark around the knot).
Great reference in any case!

I have hörnkvist as edge/arris knot. And didn't really find a definition that exactly matched yours for sprötkvist. Just giving possibilities here.

Note from asker:
| Many thanks for responding. (I thought that "splay knot" was "hornkvist", though? Or did you mean to post something else?) |
