A short French dictionary entry on the grelin (hawser), a nautical cordage made of cable-laid strands (aussières) twisted twice. It explains that grelins were classed by the number of strands, as in nine- or twelve-strand hawsers. It also lists related terms: grelin de halage, the knot for fastening a hawser to an anchor ring, and the grelin-chaîne. A line drawing shows a hawser with its strands splayed at one end.
