Help with age in Norwegian Death record

I find a death record for Lars Ingebrigtsen in 1858 in Tranøy kirke, Tranøy Prestegjeld, Troms, Norge. The record is #29 on this linked page and shows age of 4 with what looks like "Skgar" after it. I looked up the Norwegian words for hours, days, weeks and months and its not close to any of those. The indexed record on DA shows age of 0, so I assume it is for less than 1 year. Any help to decipher would be greatly appreciated!

    I think the first letter is "U" but it looks like "Sk" the way it is written. That would make the word "Uger" or "Uker" which is "weeks".

    Thanks! "Uker" or weeks makes sense.
