Yes,

Nagelate (left behind) = surviving.

Eggenote = wife; or plural of eggenoot = spouse.

In NAAIRS, SS = Surviving Spouse

Best wishes,
Keith

Can someone tell me what NAGELATE and EGGENOTE mean? I
have tried the list of Afrikaans words on the FAQ web
site and both the Dutch and Afrikaans translation sites
and these don't appear yet they seem very common on
NAAIRS documents and appear to mean 'surving spouse'.
