turret, terret

Turret or turret means a small tower, most commonly part of a building, or used for mounting guns --
That old house with the turret is for sale; should we go and look at it?
The guns were mounted in a turret, so they left them behind.

Terret or terret means one of the rings on a harness --
Put the reins through the terret, and then through the crupper.
The terret is missing, but we may be able to fix it.

Now that you know that you can say --
"He attached an old terret to the side of the turret, to hold up the banner."
