Coincidence is when the located object is in contact with the reference object.
Some of the prepositions that indicate coincidence in Norwegian are 'på', 'inntil' and 'mot'. 'På' also indicates a relationship of superiority of the located object to the reference object, while both 'inntil' and 'mot' incate a relationship of laterality. The usage of 'mot' also has limitations concerning the size of the reference object compared to the located object; the reference object have to the just as large or larger.
