Translation - status in household

I found my 3rd great grandfather Andreas Amundsen in the 1865 Norway census, living in the household of eldest son Rasmus. [Fourth line from top, Langnaes] What is his status - servant? Or something else?

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/38366/30

 

FamilySearch has this indexed as Andreas and Ane alone, doesn't connect them with the family.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:DX48-CXPZ?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=M92N-836

Can this be fixed?

 

Found another phrase - old widowed lady on census is "nyder huslye". Google translates as "enjoying shelter." So not necessarily related to the family?

 

Thanks again. Making great progress.

    The way the census is done it looks like Andreas and Ane have a separate dwelling so they are listed separately from Rasmus' family.

    I think the status says hans fdr (his father (of Rasmus)) Føderadsmand (He receives a pension of sorts - he is provided for - as part of his agreement to transfer the farm to his son Rasmus Andreassen)
