How do I spell word that sounds like k'luj?

This is a job of computer specialists in the Marine Corps.  They were talking about fusing together or blending a group of names to get a top three out of nine names.  One time he said "fusion" but the other three times he said k'looge or k'luj (long U sound.) ca'luj or k'luj.  I've looked it up in dictionaries and thesaurus in almost every imaginable combination.  It's not collage or collude.  There is a word spelled kludge but it's pronounced like fudge.  Another variation of that word is kluge which does sound like the write pronunciation but the definition doesn't fit.

Please HELP!!

From Barron's Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms:

kluge (pronounced "klooge")  an improvisied, poorly thought-out

solution to a problem, usually intended for temporary use.

actually I mean right pronunciation.... getting tired.

How about kluge (interchangeable with kludge)?  Definition is a computer system that is constituted of poorly matched elements, etc.  Sounds like that could be it.

thanks to all the Facebook folks who responded.  Just should let you know, it wasn't a deposition.  It was a hearing with witnesses coming and going & no time to stop them and ask them questions.  Started at 8:30 am and went to 6:15 pm.  No C.V., no contact info for me to get ahold of them.

The point he was conveying was to blend or merge the lists together to come up with an agreed-upon list of top three names.
