Hmmm...I think I'll avoid "people" (which still leaves too many!) with:

&nbsp;9.&nbsp; a long double-edged dagger worn by palace guards in the Ottoman empire.
10.&nbsp; Early Ottoman headgear made of leather with an outer layer of embroidered velvet or silk&nbsp;

Much as it’s appealing, I don’t buy the arctic sea-turtle (are there such creatures?) or the whistlers. I’ll try 4 and 10.
