When I first took lace 'lessons' ages ago, my teacher whose own
learning had been in Holland told us CTCT = linen stitch :(
When I first learned BL (in England) it was:
CT = half stitch
CTC = linen stitch
CTCT = whole stitch and twist.
Nowadays I use :
CT = half stitch
CTC = cloth stitch
CTCT = cloth & twist or double half-stitch.
Just to add to the confusion some of the older books use strange names

According to Dillmont the chequerboard pattern which we usually call
rose-ground or cane ground is "Double or ornamental ground" whilst the
pattern of round holes which we usually call honeycomb is what she
calls "rose ground" Margaret L Brooks refers to roseground as "Point
de la vierge'" or "Maiden's net" and she calls honeycomb "point de
mariage" or "Wedding net" !!
