Firelighter? I have s?lin?

splint

Many thanks – though I am not sure that I understand why a splint should be a firelighter!

splint
splɪnt/Submit
noun
1.
a strip of rigid material used for supporting and immobilizing a broken bone when it has been set.
"she had to wear splints on her legs"
2.
a long, thin strip of wood used to light a fire.

Reminds me of my school chemistry lessons!

I have never come across that before – one lives and learns! Many thanks everyone for your help
