"Ottoman"不是人?

"Ottoman"不是人?
閱讀Reader's Digest March, 2006
有一篇"Furniture Fight"裡
談到室內裝潢及傢俱，
出現了以下的文字段落：
Then he produced two more large squares."Ottomans,"
explained Ed.

從上下文可以推敲"ottoman"不是人！
那到底是什麼？
字典上的定義是：
a sofe footstool, sahped like a box and covered with cloth, used for resting your feet on whne you are sitting down.
而這篇文章的後面也出現這個句子：
Ed is a leg-stretchingouter.
那就對了！哈!
但是為了確認這個字的意思，
我查了Webster's New World Dictionary，
喔！
"Ottoman"也可以指
A Turk,esp.one belonging to the tribe or family of Osman.
所以真正的答案是
"Ottoman"也可以是人!
