Ayşegül with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Ayşegül'e, Ayşegül'ün), 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 Ayşegül is ü, a front rounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takeü (vowel harmony):Ayşegül'de, Ayşegül'ü.

Because Ayşegül ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Ayşegül'ü, Ayşegül'e) with no buffer letter.
