Explanation:
It must be a hyperlocal version of "nedanfor". It doesn't appear in the official dictionary at the first link. There is an example in a poem at the second link.

As someone who uses another work by A. O. Vinje in my own avatar elsewhere, I should have credited the poet here! As recompense, I'll quote that part here, which is as close to a personal motto as I have. :-)

"Å! kjære Bymann gakk ei stjur og stiv,
men kom her up og kjenn eit annat Liv!
kom hit, kom hit, og ver ei daud og lat!
kom kjenn, hot d'er, som heiter Svevn og Mat,
og Drykk og Tørste og det heile, som
er Liv og Helse i ein Hovedsum."
-- Aasmund O. Vinje, "Til Fjells!"
