Death enquiry

[Gert in Oz]

Received 2 death certs today and need help with the second word of each death please. What do they mean?

Barbara Harding 1847 died of Dibilita Otas N Anasarea

Elizabeth Fletcher 1869 died of Bronchitis Asthenca

Any help appreciated

Are you sure the second one isn't Asthma?

Is it possible for you to scan them in and post up the bit with the cause of death in?

Could be asthenia then?

The downward stroke at the end of the second word, on the second image is from the word present on the next square/

First one - Anasarca

The second one looks like Asthenia to me.

Thank you Kite, but what does Otas mean on the first one

[kiterunner]

I think the first word is Debilitas (= weakness) with the s being hidden behind that diagonal line but I can't find anything for the second word, sorry.

I see what you mean about the s being behind that line, hmm wonder what that second word is then.

Thank you for your help.

I was going to have a look for a book with old Latin medical terms in it at the library this afternoon, but I was so fazed by the fact that everything had been moved around since the last time I was there that I forgot.

Don`t know why people have to move things around in these places, its so frustrating when you know where it was and then can`t find what your looking for or it fazes you so you forget.

Thank you for thinking of me Kite.

PS Big stores and supermarkets are as bad.
