Attached is an image of text taken from a 1798 Brandstad map, in Southern Sweden, for the enskifte of properties number 24 and 25. Can anyone translate the highlighted words?
It looks like the following:
hafwandes
Inägor och Gatumark
I found the below translation but I am not sure if this is correct
Hafwande = to be big with greats projects
I think "Inägor" means "in fields" but that doesn't seem completely right.
I cannot find anything for "Gatumark"
Here is the link to the map

The text is from the first sentence on the far top right
Thanks,
George

"hafwandes" is in this case a finer/older version of "hade" = had. The translation you have seen is probably for the modern word "havande" = a woman pregnant with child.
"Inägorna" is a name for the land close to the village, usually in the form of different kinds of fields, in opposite to "Utmark" which stands for the land further away from the village, usually in the form of forests.
"Gatu-mark" is the land where there are roads.
