<div><br>I took it as meaning that Berbice Dutch <i>doto</i> comes from Dutch <i>dood</i>, and <i>dotete</i> comes from <i>"dood dat</i>", i.e. <i>die is dood</i> 'that one is dead."<br>

the video they say that te is an African word or something, and that
dotete means something like "has completely died". It's in the video
info and in one of the reactions that it is said that it comes from a
Dutch word "doto", which, according to my info, doesn't exist.<br>
