Translation Request - Would like to know more about abbreviations in Norwegian Birth Record
Could you please help me understand what the following abbreviations. I am looking at the birth record for Johan Jensen, number 162, born on 31 Aug 1852, christened on 17 Oct 1852 on the Official Church copy of the Stange Parish found at https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8860/6.
1) Under the Christening date is an abbreviation, that is something like "i St ?". I don't know what the last symbol is, but i think it is trying to say that it was done in the Stange Local Church (Sokn) as this parish is made up of several local churches Ottestad being another one of them. And under some of the confirmation dates on this page I can see 'i Ott ?"
2) under the name of the baby Johan is an abbreviation that I think is "F. L.". I see it under another name on this same page. What do you think it represents?
3) What is the abbreviation at the end of the Parent's Names section. It is right after the farm name Veens=Eie and looks like a Gf. Does it mean Gift and why would they put married if they already designated the baby as Legimate in the previous column?
Thank you for you help.

1) I guess the last letter is "K" for Kirke (church), so he was baptized in Stange Church.
2) To me this abbreviation looks more like "J.L." (compare to several "F" in record #182). I don't know what it means.
3) I don't think the first letter here is a "G". Records #151, 157, 164 have "Gf."; but here it looks more like "Hf.", however with a different style of H than in the names. I don't know what it means.

- 1) Agree that is i St. K. for i Stange Kirke
2) Comparing that abbreviation with the all the Js on the same line, it can't be a J. I think it really is a F. L. It's interesting to see that only a few of the children have this F.L. under their name and that there are a few more that have S.L. and that all of them that have either, and only them, have a small x on the left side of the name column.
3) the Hf would stand for Husfader, that is, head of family, owner of the the property.

Pure guessing
I read J.L. and S.L and only when male/boys names
On page 1 I see "indføres ikke i stamlisten"
I guess it has to be the priests task to make a list "stamliste" for military use, and only for healthy boys.
J.L. ?? I am not norwegian, but maybe also for military use
