Noun

duıttr (runic:ᚿᚢᛁᛐᛧ)

1. (in trad. law) An heiress, inheritor.
2. (more br.ly) A successor.

Usage notes

Annerish society was matrilineal and matrifocal, hence there is no term for a male heir.
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."
