Husforhorslangd 1737-1742, Bjorkled Gustafs: """"i Finland""""? Hard to read

[Victoria Boutilier]

The Husforhorslangd 1737-1742 Bjorkled Gustafs (page 23) has :
 Soldier Olof Sjoman, wife Brita Ersdtr, son Hans (died) d. Malin, d. Margareta.  
In the columns for Olof Sjoman during years 1739-1742, are written what LOOKS LIKE i Finland But the i is written like a j or y (??) Could this mean he was in Finland during those years and died there? I want to make sure I am reading correctly. (His wife is a widow on the following Husforhorslangds).Thank you!

As he was a soldier he most likely was in Finland, as there was a war on against Russia then, which took place in Finland. He might have died in battle, but more probably of sickness in his camp, as this was one war that was not properly prepared, and the men had very bad living conditions.
