I've encountered an entry for cause of death on a record which I have not been able to decipher. The death was of my great-grandmother, Berta Serine Hage (married name), 1932 in Stavanger. I've already researched her earlier life, her husband and children, her parents, her grandparents, her great-grandparents, etc. but it has taken me many years to finally find her death record.

The entry for Berta I'm having trouble with is in column 8 "Oppgit dødsaarsag". The handwriting is slightly difficult, the entry MIGHT be in Latin and abbreviated. I would greatly appreciate your opinions.

Berta is the first female entry (#42) on these pages -

It is Latin. Compare with nr 23 here.

Thank you Harald. There's a Latin dictionary at my closest LDS Family History Center, I'll have to reach for it more often! But abbreviated entries are always a real challenge - no matter the language.
