"Rheid" Pronounce,Meaning And Examples

"Rheid" Meaning

A very uncommon word!

"Reid" (not "Rheid") is a Scottish and Irish surname, and it can also have a few different meanings depending on the context:

1. In topography, a reid or reidhead (also spelled reid or rheid) was an old Scottish term for the remains of a lake or pool, perhaps caused by a periodic spring or the remains of a glacier.
2. In geology, a reid is a breccia-like rock or rock formation, named after a place name in county Mayo, Ireland, where it was found.
3. In some dialects of Scots, particularly in north-east Scotland, "reid" is an adverb meaning "late" or "afar off" (e.g. "reid an' lang a-go" "a long way off").
4. In some African-American Vernacular English, "reid" is an informal noun meaning a person who snitches or tattles on someone else.

However, I believe you might be looking for the single celtic word "rheid", and since that word doesn't seem to have any commonly known English connection I have to try to guess, it could be a word derived from "cheid", meaning: "predj: capital where warfare becomes extremely dangerous; both armies position and single off foe to same place."

If you're still looking for the word, can you provide more information or context on it?
