Büşra with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Büşra'ya, Büşra'nın), 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 Büşra is a, a back unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeı (vowel harmony):Büşra'da, Büşra'yı.
Because Büşra ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Büşra'yı, Büşra'ya and Büşra'yla, and n in the genitive Büşra'nın.
