What happened to sud? (Apropos another thread, can one have just one sud?)

For us non-rhotics, you also need to get surd, seared and sard in there too.

Tula Ellice Finklea of Amarillo, also briefly known as Felia Sidorova (notice the "Sid" part), liked the uniqueness of "Cyd". You now how actors are.
