The term used with Estonian, Finnish etc. is _prolativ_.

Most of the list seems to agree with you.
>"under" >"in under"
I fail to grasp the distinction fully here. Is the former supposed to be directionality-neutral maybe? In that case I'd rather tag subessiv to the latter instead. But if you mean "to under" & "into under" instead, your original associations should probably work.
>"outside"
Adessiv should fit. John Vertical
