If we are willing to see rd as a "rare dialectical word" from the root r.d.d
we can use the same logic to see it as a "rare form" from the root y.r.d.
But see HALOT where r.d.d means "subjugate" making it unlikely to be
from r.d.d. In contrast, its suggestion (same entry) to tie it to Akkadian
radu "cloudburst, downpour" is reasonable.
