Malix - birth - 1760 - Gredig - father's origin
I would appreciate some help here... I'm trying to figure out a location listed in a baptism record (Maria Gredig, "Switzerland, Catholic and Reformed Church Records, 1418-1996" • FamilySearch). I can't seem to make out where Andreas Gredig (father) is from (see red arrow in line 298 in the attached). It looks to me like it could be Plüga, but what I think looks like a P doesn't match a P in Peter elsewhere on the page. Being that the baptism is in Malix and the mother from Scharans, I scanned maps near those areas to find similar-spelled towns, but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks.

There is no second use of this character on the page, but my first guess was Splüga (Splügen). Fortunately this is confirmed by Rätisches Namenbuch (https://kunden.eye.ch/swissgen/rnb/): it lists a mention of Gredig von Splügen in Malix in 1760 - which definitely will refer to "your" baptismal entry.
