Nédén is something facing another thing, especially from opposite a threshold. It's more complex in terms of when it is used, but is also rare.

Relatively self-explanitory. May expand on the difference [of lack there of] between time/place but it seems pretty well congruent to English.

I may remove Debh looking at it now as it is relatively useless. The main purpose originally was to draw a distinction between "I will do this before"/"I have dones this before" and "I will do this until"/"I did it until". However, the perfect form might removed that ambiguity; "I had been doing this before" could read just as easily as "I had done this until" and similarly with the future and until; "I will be doing this before".
''Cóbh'' may be used to mean before or until, which one it is depends entirely on whether the verb is perfective. A non-perfective verb simples means "I did it before", perfective means "I was doing it until...".  
 
The difference for the others is less noticable, with cur it simply implies a process that began before and will end after. Cébh implies that one will have already been doing the thing at this point, "I will have a drink after you left" vs. "I will be drinking after you're old and grey" [usually used to imply "still" in this sense, but not necessarily].
