berü
Meaning:
hither; on this side; since
The origin of bärü is disputed. One analysis derives it from an earlier deictic stem *ber and the directional ending -rü; another interprets it as a partly suppletive directive of the demonstrative bo “this”. The Turkmen vowel is long, whereas Khalaj does not independently confirm that length.

Marcel Erdal (2004) A Grammar of Old Turkicp. 200p. 200The only case form which appears not to be attested in the singular is the directive of bo. This may not be a coincidence: bärü ‘hither’ may be the half-suppletive missing directive. This word has a long vowel in Turkmen (though not in Khaladj), which would speak for a contraction of the stem with the directive suffix.

?D berü: (?bérü:) an Adv. used both of time and of space, meaning broadly ‘to this side, on this side’. The phonetics of this word are obscure. So far as the first vowel is concerned the Türkü spellings of cognate words point more to -é- than -e-, and there are sporadic spellings with -é- later, but the evidence for -é- is not conclusive. The word does not occur in Türkü viii (the word sometimes so read in T 26, 28 is evirü:) and the spellings of cognate forms in Türkü and Uyğ. are more easily derived fr. *ber (?bér) than this word. It is, therefore, prob. that berü: is itself a der. f., a crasis of *berrü:, that is *ber (?bér) with the Directional Suff. -rü: and this is corroborated by the fact that it is often used in antithesis to aŋaru:, q.v. S.i.a.m.l.g., usually as beri. See berdin, (?E) bıṛğaru:, bergerü:, berü:ki:, VU berye:. Türkü viii ff.
