Creative and poetic parish priest - gems in a death register

One of our dear fellow genealogists, Miklós Békefi drew our attention to these special death register pages:

(Felsőszölnök, Hungary  1789)

The arrows and numbers indicate the expressions for saying somebody has died.
Yes, almost each of those 51 are different! Before and after them also the usual obiit and sepultus, -a est occur.

Here is a list of the variations in Latin and English (in the order according to the picture, so you can practice some Latin reading, too). Enjoy!
