  Attached is a page from the 1857 Hungarian Census (with an enlargement of the relevant part).  I need help with two words:

(1) At the top left (for “Name des Hausbesitzers) I can make out “Wirthshaus”, but the word before that is clearly NOT in my Wahrig Deutsches Wörterbuch!  It seems to be “Compöhsesorel”.  I also tried replacing the “C” with a “K”, but without finding anything. Somebody suggested that the word might be Latin.

(2) And what is the word before the first name (Pinkes Zempline(r) alias Srul)?  My guess is that it begins Wohns…, and perhaps ends …thn or …tsn.  Perhaps his occupation?

And while you’re at it, on another 1857 record I found something that looks like “Weit Muhme”.  Could that be translated as “distant relative”?
