Middle Annerish
Etymology
From Old Annerish dúachtır, a conflation of Proto-Germanic *duhtēr ("daughter") and *þeuhtēr ("descendant").
Pronunciation
(Annerish) IPA: /ˈdˠutʲr̩ʲ/ [ˈd̥ɯ̯ɪˑʰt͡ʃɪ̆ɹ]
- broad ending: /ˈdˠutˠr̩ˠ/ [ˈd̥uˑʰtəɾ]
Noun
duıttr (runic:ᚿᚢᛁᛐᛧ)
- (in trad. law) An heiress, inheritor.
- (more br.ly) A successor.
Usage notes
Annerish society was matrilineal and matrifocal, hence there is no term for a male heir.
Inflection
According to the Bésgnae Béırle this noun belongs to the second declension despite its irregularities;
Bernthaler (1907) groups this along with several other such nouns into a declension she descibes as "Überrestliche rhotische Deklination."
