I notice on a page of confirmations that in the far right column a list of comments on the behavior of the boys and girls is listed. I can understad most of the comments but not all and I am not sure I have the order of good or not so good behavior down correctly.

godt = good

nesten meget godt = almost very good

temmelig godt = quite good

maadelig = mediocre

Here is the page I was looking at

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=16926&idx_id=16926&uid=ny&idx_side=-39

If someone wants to order them and correctly translate them, I would appreciate it.
