A large number of names for the Ashlander NPCs, Egg Mines, caves/tombs and Daedric shrines in Morrowind are inspired by real-world ancient Assyrian and Babylonian names.

•Ahhe (used for the Asha-Ahhe Eggmine, the Ashlander NPC Ashu-Ahhe, the caves of Dun-Ahhe and Tin-Ahhe, etc) is a component of the names of Assyrian and Babylonian kings, such as Ashur-nadin-ahhe and Marduk-nadin-ahhe.

•Ashur-Dan (used for the Ashlander NPC Ashur-Dan, the fire-river Foyada Ashur-Dan and the cave Ashir-Dan) is the name for three Assyrian Kings.

•-ipal (used for some Daedric shrines like Assurdirapal and Zergonipal, and Ashlander NPCs such as Dunsalipal Dun-Ahhe and Shipal Zansatanit, etc) is a component for the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.

•Ashur/Assur (forementioned in previous examples and more) is the Akkadian name for the Assyrian Empire and it's capital, Ashur/Asser. It's worth mentioning "Ashur" has a resemblence to "Ashlander."

•eriba- (Used loosely for the Erabenimsun Tribe) is a root for some Assyrian/Babylonian names (Eriba-Marduk, Sin-ahhe-eriba, etc)

•-nammu and -nummu (used for various caves/tombs and a few NPCs) is based off of a Babylonian King named Ur-Nammu.

•Sargon (used for the cave named Sargon) is the name of the founder of the Assyrian Empire (Sharru-kin, also known as "Sargon of Akkad.")

Other Ashlander names draw from other real-life cultures/people, such as Mamaea/Maesa who were family of the Roman emperor Elagabalus in the 3rd century (Julia Maesa was his maternal aunt and Julia Avita Mamaea was her daughter.)

It's possible to use an empty bottle to reflect Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's magic blasts back at them, similar to how the Bug-Catching Net can be used to reflect Agahnim's magic in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Both items are used in their respective games to catch things, which are then stored in a bottle. Also like the net, there are some advantages to using the bottle: it has a slightly wider swipe and a more consistent motion than the sword.

Attachment Joseph Joestar has a unique counter-taunt, where he predicts his opponent's next line, which they proceed to say completely, and then react in surprise. He has a different version for each of the 41 characters, which includes two versions of himself.

Using this counter-taunt against Dio Brando will make Joseph say "Next you will say 'WRYYYYYYYYYY'", with Dio responding as expected. The "WRYYYYYYYYYY" that Joseph mimics sounds similar to the synthesized version of the yell Dio Brando makes in the Capcom-made arcade fighter JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which became a semi-popular internet meme that was parodied in several videos.
