I'd suggest grouping them into manageable sizes, making some sort of joke out of it, and making mnemonics with their names.

Here is a **very bad example**. It's only to make the point. Finding good names and strategies will take time, but seven is way too many without some memory aid for your reader.

That's bad, as I said, but I hope it illustrates something useful (it probably doesn't.) Still, you know what sort of weapon Broad carries, and what sort of weapon Long carries, even with that short treatment. Et cetera.

Same idea for garments.
