Comments

 * This seems to be up to standard. It looks like you had a thorough review before that ironed out most of the sticking points, so I don't have too much to add.
 * The title: are you sure it should be italicized? I get that it's a foreign word, but I've not seen that before as a reason to italicize.
 * Yes, I'm pretty sure. Per MOS:FOREIGN, this is an "isolated foreign word" that does not "have common usage in English".  MOS text formatting also appears to support this position. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:35, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm all for redlinks, but do you think anyone will write an article on camel bone?
 * Don't know. Depends on whether it has enough sources to establish notability. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:35, 31 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I see that owning a khanjar is no longer restricted to the upper classes, but is it common among the lower classes now? If one were to visit Oman, would one see khanjars on every hip?
 * Probably not. The sources in the article say that it's restricted to special occasions nowadays. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:35, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I think you've covered everything. I'll pass this. Nice article! --Coemgenus (talk) 13:27, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
