Nerb: the act of adding more tension to a taut rope, by pulling perpendicular to the rope

Noun: the rope which one bowstrings
a stunt coordinator asked me to bowstring the line coming out of the performer flying hoist

(and I knew exactly what to do even though I hadn’t heard the term before.)

usually used to adjust, in fine degrees, a performers body position, height, etc. when flying, where it is only a fine adjustment or reaction, rather than a new mark that would involve a rope mark change. A quick and easy way to make changes without rerigging a set mark.
