Attaching strings to the bridge

Couldn't find this with a site search or in the FAQs thread:

What is the most elegant way to tie strings to the bridge?

I like the appearance of the single loop, but haven't figured out how to get the end to go down and sideways neatly. No matter how long I stare at the photo on oud cafe, I still can't figure out the "knot" on my own.

It looks like there is no knot at all, but when I string my oud that simplest way (thru the hole, back over the bridge, under the vibrating string, back over bridge with a single tuck under the first loop) the loops passing over the bridge don't lie parallel, but are rather v shaped.

Is the loop really that simple? Do I just need to manipulate it a little after tuning to tension to get the loops parallel and the free end to lie flat?

Next time I am in the presence of a master (going to watch Afif Taian this week) I will ask this stupid question. Maybe this technical tip belongs in the FAQ category?
