Danish Abbreviation
I'm trying to figure out what the highlighted abbreviation means. Can anyone help me translate?

After consulting a native speaker, it appears that abbreviation is for the word afgået which means deceased.
I looked in the death records and confirm this by finding her death in 1822. She died on 21 May and is the 8th entry on the page, here's a link to the record: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21883111#428388,78517302
We can be sure that this is correct because it matches the information on the confirmation for Ingeborg that lists her as deceased. The death record also lists her living in the Kongsted farm in Kongsted parish which matches other records for the family. It also lists her husband as Ole Jensen and gives an age that makes sense for a Maren with kids the ages of Ingeborg and her siblings.
In taking with you earlier today, you had a marriage record in 1817 and a census for a different Maren who was living in 1834 when the census was taken and died in 1844.
I believe that the Maren who got married in 1817 and shows up in the 1834 census is not the same person, but rather a similarly named person in the same area.
Which child are you a descendant of?
