How about Idea

[Turtle]

:cup: Roger that nine. Guess you got a free clue.:cup:

 

Hint 9) It is not an idea, or anything ephemeral. This is a physical "thing" put together by humans of various physical "things".

 

Hint 10) It is not a tank, but tank has too many connotaions to derive a singular new clue.

 

At least you are all getting it right by guessing four-letter words.GETE

Toys

[Racoon]

its GUNS. ( i'm thinking toys and battle, ie play w/ tanks and guns.)

and fire it does bear.

[Turtle]

Not guns or toys. In the first clues I gave, I used the word "ancient" & this means "as old or older than any written record". While "it" is often viewed as a toy, that is not its name. The four-letter name of "it" is singular tense; one "it".

___Sorry I didn't format that as before; I am dancing as fast as I can.:cup:

[Racoon]

its a KHUA! :cup:

how about another hint!

[Turtle]

___It's not Khua, although that is very insigtful Racoon in view of the clues. The Khua is however not very well known & I don't make riddles that have answers common folk don't know. The "it" is known & recognized by virtually every-one. :cup:

Club

[Turtle]

Club

 

Not a club. The reference to battle use is one of the more arcane aspects of "it", inasmuch as many are not aware of "its" use in that venue. People more commonly know "it" as a plaything.

 

That said, Hint 11) It has saved peoples' lives & it has taken peoples' lives.:cup:

[Racoon]

Alright Turtle-san

I just did a little research and found an answer that fits most of your clues and is something I know that you know about. :cup:

It indeed is a toy that has been used in battle.

It can be made of hemp

it is ancient and recognized

it can be very small or very large

it is 4 different letters

 

KITE !!!

If this isn't right I/we at least deserve another clue you scoundral! :cup:
