Handwriting Help, Please

 

On the marriage record for May 22 for Lars Tollefsen and Anne Karine Næs, about two thirds of the way down the page at:

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070402680106

there is one word I can't make out, the title before the last name Holter. Can anyone tell me what this says and what it means?

 

Also, in the same record, I was thinking I knew what the title was before Lars' name but now I'm not so sure. Any thoughts? In the christening record for his first child, his title is Kiobmand.

I believe the word is "uhrmager" which is probably "urmaker-watchmaker".

Before Lars' name the word is "hr" meaning "Herr-Mister".

Ah! Thank you. Those older style hs always throw me.
