πέρην

on the other side, beyond, opposite; τινόςIl. 2.626

beri/berü

PTurk. *bEr- 1 southern, right 2 to the South, to the right 

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).

Περίβοια 

Periboea.—(1) daughter of Acessamenus, mother of Pelagon, Il. 21.142.—(2) daughter of Eurymedon, mother of Nausithous by Poseidon, Od. 7.57.

(the female version of börü-buga?(wolf bull)

official meaning „surrounded by cattle“ (not better than my proposal)

acc. to wiki: In Greek mythology, the name Periboea (/ˌpɛrɪˈbiːə/Ancient Greek: Περίβοια "surrounded by cattle" derived from peri "around" and boes "cattle") refers to multiple figures:

περκνός 

dappled, as specific name of a kind of eagle, Il. 24.316†.

börü

(grey) wolf

Mong. *beltereg is a regular metathesis < *berteleg. Mong. börtü (berte) činua is translated as ‘multicolored wolf (name of the legendary ancestor of Chinggis Khan)’ and börtü is glossed in L 128 as ‘mottled, speckled, grey’ - but in fact it is basically used with činua and is probably the original deriving stem of beltereg. -büri in MMong. ǯö’e-büri, WMong. čögebüri ‘jackal’ may be borrowed < Turk. (see Щербак 1997, 163). 

πῆχυς 

elbow, then fore - arm, arm, Il. 21.166Od. 17.38. Also centre-piece of a bow, joining the arms (horns) of the weapon, being the part grasped by the left hand in shooting, Il. 11.375Od. 21.419 (πᾶχῠς(pâkhus) — Aeolic)
