What is the meaning of the abbreviations between the death day and the age shown in this image?
I am trying to translate the record for Caroline the wife of Barth. Schlag in the record shown below. She could be LBZR-F5J, or possibly LC5H-DB9 in FamilySearch. The image comes from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, U.S., Church and Town Records, 1669-2013 - Ancestry.com.
I believe the translation is "1826 Jan 27 Carolina, wife of Barth. Schlag was buried. Died 1826 Jan 25 ?? age 32 yr, 3 mo, 19 days." I think my translation is correct, except I can't figure out the abbreviation between the death day and the age. As highlighted with blue boxes in the image below, there is an abbreviation that appears between the death day and the age in several records. Sometimes the abbreviation is preceded by the Latin word huj. (hujus), but generally it isn't. Can someone tell me the English translation of these abbreviations?

Thank you for your thorough reply! It is enormously helpful. My brother has been teaching me the rudiments of German, but he just passed away. You've given me confidence to forge on with my project and be able to read the records I'm working with rather than just pulling names out of a sea of foreign words.
