Agor

English translation: ground, estates, property

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:ägor
English translation:ground, estates, property
Entered by: Mats Wiman

Swedish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Swedish term or phrase: Agor
Sjoqurdys Agor, Rinkaby, Orebro, Sweden
Terry Allen
ground, estates, proerty
Explanation:
Agor is with certainty a typo for ägor and is plural of 'posession'
Sjoqurdys seems to be a typo too and a proper name: could be (Swedish) 'Sjöquist' or a Turkish, Iranian, Arabic, Farsi or Hindi name (my guesses)
Orebro is a typo for the city of Örebero

Sven's answer is not correct. Aga has only a theoretical plural. To be added: It not oldfahioned. Its used quite often for reprehensible physical corrective measures against children. It's also used in the legal texts.

Unfortunately, I can only type English letters from this keyboard, so apologies for the mis-spellings. I am told that this is the place that my great great grandfather was born. His name, when he married in England years later, was Sjoquist. Thanks for your help.
