Ayperi with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Ayperi'ye, Ayperi'nin), 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 Ayperi is i, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Ayperi'de, Ayperi'yi.
Because Ayperi ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Ayperi'yi, Ayperi'ye and Ayperi'yle, and n in the genitive Ayperi'nin.
