A set of letters has been replaced by $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$.
Following are some of the words that consist of those letters, and their meaning:
$abc = a title (n.)$
$abcd = a title > abc (n.), give cbad to (v.)$
$Dcba ⊂ (a title > abcd) (n.)$
$Dcba = Represents what often comes before or after bcd (n.)$
$bcd = ARGHH! (n.)$
$cbad = move abc to abcd (v.), land (v.)$
What are the letters that $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ replace, respectively?

a, b, c, d are
s, i, r, e
"sir" = a title (given to a man)
"sire" = a title greater than "sir" (given to a king), or to give "rise" to
"Eris" = Name (names are titles) of someone greater than a "sire" (specifically, a greek goddess, see below)
"Eris" = Greek goddess of strife (strife can lead to or cause "ire", coming before or after it)
"ire" = anger
"rise" = move from "sir" to "sire", or to go up
etc.
