Alternate word for nori

Hi, my grandma and grandpa were second gen JAs and always called nori “no-dee” (not sure how you would spell it but that’s how you would say it phonetically)
I can’t seem to find any reason why! Took me a while to understand why they always said shoyu instead of soy sauce, but this question I cannot find an answer to. Does anyone know? Is this just some quirky family word?
Unfortunately I am unable to ask them why so checking here to see if anyone else might know.
Thank you!
