A nurdle (or Knurdle) is also a lump of frozen steel that forms on the end of a tuyere.
quote:TUYERE : a nozzle through which an air blast is delivered to a forge or blast furnace
Note: tuyere rhymes with queer. That is, anyone in the steel industry I've ever heard use the word pronounces it that way. The pronunciation in the link maybe more accurate from the french, but I've never heard it that way.
