An obsolete English dialect term covering both sedge (grass-like marsh plants) and seaweed, reflecting the older usage where coastal and inland water-margin plants were grouped under a single word. Related to Old English 'hreod' (reed). Now completely extinct as a living word outside glossaries.

The thatcher sorted through bundles of reit gathered from the estuary, choosing the stiffest stems for the ridge.
