What am I? Riddle-Game

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

No. Not a bindle. @Nerea.
Something closer to a suitcase.

[Daniel-Davis]

A bandana?

Hobos used to make a bag out of a bandana and a pole to travel with. You tie two corners together to make one bag out hat. A bandana covers you.

[DATo]

A camping trailer / travel van?

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

Neither. @Daniel-Davis and @DATo.

And though the word Bandana is a foreign-language word, for the answer, we are looking for a different language.

This word is no longer used to refer to a bag anymore.
In fact, you probably know this word only in relation to the clues #2, 3 and 4.
Also, it's foreign in origin, mes chers amis!

Note: I edited my previous post to change 'Lunastellar' to 'Lunastella'.

Could it be a ..... portemanteau ???

I let you travel with ease.
I make one from two.
While the first part of me lets people and things rest and go,
My second part covers you. ...............

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

You got it @DATo



('Portemanteau' is the french spelling. The english spelling is 'portmanteau'.)

And for clues #3 and #4, I divided the word in 2 parts: port and manteau.
#3. While the first part of me lets people and things rest and go: Port - because seaports are also simply called ports.
#4. My second part covers you: Manteau - a loose gown or cloak worn by women.

Thank you Mindful Wordsmith!

That was just a wild stab in the dark resulting from "mes chers amis!" in one of your posts (French).

Seriously, I'd estimate that at least half my correct guesses are really just desperate guesses.

OK ... Here we go ....

1) Sometimes I am light complexioned and sometimes dark.
2) Sometimes I stand erect and sometimes I twist myself into a knot.
3) Some people love me and others do not .... (but DATo does).
4) I am organic but have no organs.
5) If you are willing to patiently and mindlessly stand on a street corner I can make you wealthy.

What am I ?

[Stephanie Runyon]

A decorative tree or shrub that generally is used next to the street light pole.

[Gravy]

Statues?

(The last clue makes me think of the living 'statues' performers.)

[DATo]

@Mounce574 Not a tree or shrub - it IS organic but it is not a living thing in it's present state.

@Gravy Not a statue of any kind.

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

A pretzel @DATo ?

[DATo]

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I'm an acronym.
I can harm or save lives.
Cats are intrigued by me.
