Indexing Alaska Church Records Batch # [MQGK-F6T]

When looking at abbreviations I don't see "un" what does it stand for?

I don't know the meaning of "un" as an abbreviation, so I would index these church records starting with entry #1 is Entry Type Death Entry @#2 is Birth/Baptism and so forth — I don't see an entry box for the "un" —- now I'm just guessing but the "un" could refer whether the parents are married and we don't need that for indexing purposes in this project, so go ahead & enjoy indexing these easy-to-read typed records😎

Here's another guess on the UN or NU or KE, etc any of these could be abbreviations for locations in Alaska

It all depends on the context in which the abbreviation is used. My immediate thought was unmarried for "un", but I like the location suggestion, especially if the first (or both) letter(s) are in capitals. Google suggested Unalaska for "un" and Ketchikan for "ke", but Auk Nu Cove was the closest offering for "nu", when typing "Alaska" as a suffix! Please don't take any of these too seriously, though.
