I am sorry, I meant to say *PER- = "hit/strike" (I confused it with *PES-
"rub")

Celtic languages maintain the full system of North=Left, Right=South,
Front=East, Back=West.

We have Greek Nerteros "pertaining to the otherworld" which is
etymologically related to English "North"
The Germanic Hell (or Otherworld) was placed in the North - which parallels
the meanings behind the Irish words Tuaith "North" (*Teuti-) and Tuath
(*Teut-o) which means "left/evil" and Old Welsh Tut "magician" (*Teut-o).
