sudd

This lake is the home of many sudd plants of the "swimming" variety—papyrus and ambach are absent.

The Sudan government, however, sent engineering parties to remove the sudd blocks and open out a continuous waterway.

And Nod, having his mother's quick hand, made a great store of Manaka-cake and Sudd-bread.

The sudd, it is supposed, stopped the advance of the Roman centurions who were sent up the Nile in the days of Nero.
