What does "das" mean in listing age of death in cemetery record

I am brand new to indexing and am currently indexing some Louisiana Cemetery Records: US, Louisiana, Orleans Parish—Cemetery Records, 1805–1944[M37X-L7C]


For Age at Death, it says "Aged 2 das." I understand that some of these records are in French, but I can't find a translation in English or French for "das". Does this mean "2 days old at death"? Thanks for the help!

    I cannot see your batch. Perhaps you have submitted. I agree 2 das is 2 days from others I have seen. So the age is indexed as zero.

    I did submit it. I think perhaps they omitted the "y" in days. Thank you!
