Nonsense. Dukte:~ is the same as a woman - "mo~teris" and mother -
mo~te:, mo~tina. Daughter in dialects is dukterìs (nom.), dukteríes
(gen.). The dukters (gen.,as a moters) is literary, simplyfied
variant. "Dukters" is synonymous form of dukte:s (dukte: nom.).

Ex. As^ neturiu dukters (I don't have a daughter).
Dukters sunaus vardas - Jonas (The name of daughters son is John).

As^ neturiu dukte:s (I don't have a daughter)

Dukte:s sunaus vardas - Jonas (The name of daughters son is John).


Also s^uo, s^uva (nom., dog); s^uns, s^uníes, s^uvos (gen.)

Proto-Baltic form was *dukter-is, *dukter-eis (compare with
Z^emaitian dukter-(e:)s and dukter-eis.
