Something like 'steward'. Swedish has <ladufogde>, from
<ladu> 'barn' and <fogde> 'bailiff'. The first element is
ON <hlaða> 'storehouse, barn'; I believe that the second is
from the MLG cognate of German <Vogt> 'steward, bailiff'.
Yes, or at least SAOB agrees; and the last if from Med.Lat.
<vocatus>, from <advocatus>.
