Can someone provide insight on the cause of death (?) after Guri Olsdatter's name (59 years old) on line 46? logesfattig?

This death is listed in another record here (entry #20): https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9366/323 . It looks like the word is "lagdsfat(tig)" which Google translate says is "made poor". I don't believe it is a cause of death. Hopefully, someone who knows Norwegian can give a better definition.

Legd - A group of farms which together were responsible for a portion of the community obligations such as taxes, providing soldiers, or taking care of the poor.
legdsfattig or legdslem was a pauper who was being cared for under this system.

The link was one page off. I found her and in this record, that column is not cause of death but where they were living. It looks like Gr...stedeie. I couldn't make out a letter or two and the fswiki for Nord Aurdal has no farm names. Sorry. I also checked surrounding parishes in case the boundaries changed and no farm with those letters were in the Wiki
