    All four occurrences are tagged as prepositions. In Daniel 7:27 the form occurs in the clause concerning kingdoms beneath all heaven, while in Jeremiah 10:11 the APB renders the surrounding clause "from under these heavens"; Daniel 4:9 and Daniel 4:18 also use suffixed forms, though the supplied translation does not make their specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB visibly presents the spatial relation as "under all heaven" in Daniel 7:27 and "from under these heavens" in Jeremiah 10:11. In Daniel 4:9 and Daniel 4:18, the translation does not isolate the preposition's contribution.
