Middle Annerish

Etymology

From Old Annerish dúachtır, a conflation of Proto-Germanic *duhtēr and *þeuhtēr ("descendant").

Pronunciation

(Annerish) IPA: /dutʲrʲ/ [ˈd̥ʷiˑʰt͡ʃɪ̆ɹ]

  • broad ending: /dutr/ [ˈd̥uˑʰtəɾ]

Noun

duıttr (runic:ᚿᚢᛁᛐᛧ)

  1. An heiress, inheritor
  2. (in traditional law) A successor

Usage notes

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

Inflection

Irregular according to the Bésgnae Béırle; Bernthaler (1907) groups this along with several other such nouns into a declension she descibes as "Überrestliche rhotische Deklination."
