What does pf stand for in this listing?

Is there a comprehensive list of all the abbreviations some place?

There is a short list of abbreviations used in Norwegian censuses here, but the list was probably put together before the 1920 census was published, and "pf" may have been specifically invented for that census. At least I find only 3-4 occurrences of pf in the "stlling/stand" field in pre-1920 sources.
