I am asking for a translation opinion for the one word circled in red. It is in the column for "occupation" (I believe) in this death record.
Thank you,
Ed Shapiro

11/15/2021 10:44 PM Words were often split between lines in these BMD records.
The column, headed "The Deceased" does request many details, including occupation, but immediately after "first name, surname" comes the request for "Stand" i.e. "Status". You can see that in the previous record, "kind" (child) follows the name.
