Contionary:duıttr

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)

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.

Inflection

According to the Bésgnae Béırle this noun belongs to the second declension despite irregularities;
Bernthaler (1907) groups this along with several other such nouns into a declension she descibes as "Überrestliche rhotische Deklination."
