Genitive plurals...

[studentka-hb.livejournal.com]

Anybody know what the genitive plural of
(My attempts to the right)
сутки = суток
нож = ножей
иностранец = иностранцов
сын = сыновей
деревня = деревень
крыло = крыльев
палец = пальцов
рынок = рынков
дочь = ???
англичанин = англичан
words are? I'm having problems, and between looking them up and using the 'rules' I'm still rather lost!
Thank you!

Not at all. Unfortunately, I can`t explain - why.

I understand why, the mistakes jump out at me when I see it done properly!
Thankyou!

дочерей is an exeption, пальцев и американцев - because if the "5 letter rule" (е is not stressed here).

I also need to say:
'Я это сделала for the sake of our friendship'
It's a bit bizarre... All I know is it's supposed to be a preposition followed by the genitive... such as: 'ради нашей дружбы' perhaps?

Я это сделала ради нашей дружбы - yes, that's right.
