beriyä
Meaning:
on this side; southwards
The ending -yä has been interpreted as a dissimilated form of the directive-locative -rä after a stem containing r, although this analysis has been challenged.

Directive-locative +rA was dissimilated to +yA when the stem had an /r/: beriyä ‘in/to the south’, yïrya ‘in/to the north’, kurïya ‘in/to the west’ < *berira, *yïrra, *kurïra; cf. e.g. Orkhon-Turkic kurïgaru, berigärü of the Uygur Steppe Empire Taryat inscription (W5). üzä ‘above’ might also have been formed in this way, as one source of Old Turkic /z/ is Proto-Turkic *ry; its base could have survived in Chuvash vir ‘upper’.309 The variant +yA cannot be connected with the dative suffix, as was thought by some,310 both because of the different meanings of the forms and because +kA often appears in the same phonotactic surroundings as +yA. All the instances of +yA are, like directive-locative +rA, petrified and lexicalised. Most importantly, the meanings and functions of +yA and the directive-locative fit together perfectly.
309 All directive-locative items turn out to appear in opposite pairs and üzä would be the counterpart of asra. Another cognate is üstin, discussed in this section.
310 E.g. Tekin 2003: 78. That +yA may have been a secondary form of +rA was assumed already in the EDPT (p. XL) and is argued against by T. Tekin 1996a: 330-31.p. 56bïrgarudun sïŋar ‘in the direction towards the south’ in M III nr. 4, 10,141 (ms. U 47 in Uygur writing; double-dotted X) shows that the numerous forms of birdin, birgärü and biryä in Orkhon Turkic and other Manichæan sources must all be secondary.92
92 Clauson (EDPT 361) assumes that the instance is an error; this would have been likely if the ms. had been in Manichæan writing, where G and Г have rather similar shapes. As it is, we cannot simply ‘emend’ it away. -

◊ EDT 359,364, 370. The forms ber-din (abl.), ber-ije (adv.), ber-gerü (dir.) - from a spatial noun *ber. The usually related berü ‘this side, here’ etc. (EDT 355, ЭСТЯ II 124-125) should be rather kept apart. It is unclear morphologically (bērü < ber-rü seems to be a unique development) and may be derived from the demonstrative bu ‘this’, just like naru, aŋaru, onaru ‘that side, there’ is derived from the demonstrative stem an- ‘that’ (see Brockelmann 1954, 134).

‖ EAS 57, SKE 191, Poppe 21. “Verbal” low tone in Korean. Doerfer (TMN 1, 207) attempts to dismantle Ramstedt’s comparison (Tung.-Kor.-Mong.) by preferring Ramstedt’s own earlier (KW 35) derivation of Mong. baraɣun ‘right; West’ < bara- ‘to end’ - which is evidently much weaker semantically. -
