Need one word translated

This is a Dutch death record. The record I have a question about is the first one in the September group for Hendrik te Walvaert.
Do you know what it says in back of his name? I see that same thing on many other records on that page.
THANKS

This is a burial record. Civil registration of deaths was not introduced nationwide until 1811 (though some cities, and areas under French occupation had started earlier). The word is "kint", an older spelling for "kind" (child). This is a burial record for a child of Hendrik te Walvaert, not for Hendrik te Walvaert. This is a common style of burial record in the Netherlands pre-1811, unfortunately no name, gender or age is given.
