Ayaz with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Ayaz'a, Ayaz'ın), but it is still pronounced as one word. The apostrophe only marks where the name ends; the suffix itself follows the usual rules.
The last vowel of Ayaz is a, a back unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeı (vowel harmony):Ayaz'da, Ayaz'ı.
Because Ayaz ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Ayaz'ı, Ayaz'a) with no buffer letter.

| Accusative (object) | Ayaz'ı | Ayaz'ı tanıyor musun? Do you know Ayaz? |
