Usually, as we see in these examples (free translation in the brackets), the preposition 'under' usually indicates a relationship of inferiority of the located object to the reference object
Under en stein i skogen er og var Tron Øgrims (1947-2007) hemmelige datasted
(' Under a rock in the woods is, and was, Tron Øgrim's (1947-2007) secret computerplace)
Venstre går kraftig tilbake og havner under sperregrensen i en ny meningsmåling
('Venstre is having a major setback, and ends up under the bottom line in a new survey')
However, as we see in the following example, 'under' can also be used as a preposition to place an event within a certain time period
