Would like help with the abbreviation (occupation) of Eric Petterson in this household survey in Ottarp, Malmöhus. Link below

Kingelstad No. 20, Family of Per Jönsson. Survey shows his son Eric has a status of Skom ????. I know skom is an abbreviation for skomakare, but can't figure out the word after that. Thanks for the help!

The next household record that Eric shows up in has him as a "Skomak. ges(äll)" which is a "journeyman shoemaker". See here for that record: https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v107412a?image=2140&page=206&register_collection=28&register_post_aid=r5.p80920392

Thank you, Norm. I don't think I've ever run into that term before.
