What does SUDD mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A thick mass of floating vegetation, especially reeds and weeds, that blocks a river and stops boats from passing.
A sudd forms when reeds, grasses and other plants mat together on the surface of slow-moving water until the tangled mass is solid enough to block a channel completely. The term is used above all for such masses on the White Nile in north-east Africa, where they have historically obstructed river traffic. Engineers and geographers use the common noun sudd for this kind of vegetation blockage wherever it occurs, not only in Africa.
