Another thought: while I don't doubt that "barzel" means "iron", could it
be used in this passage as a geneic name for all metalworking? Which would
solve your question.


If, however, BRZL is used as a generic term for metalworking, would that not assume that ironmongery was sufficiently established for the term to be used as a generic term for metalworking?
