Re: Engst
I can't find ENGST in my books, but there is ENGSTER. This is a habitional name referring to someone who lives in or near an especialley narrow spot.
Another thing that came to my mind was the name HENGST; the H may have been dropped for some reason. But this is no more than an educated guess.
