Coşkun with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Coşkun'a, Coşkun'un), 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 Coşkun is u, a back rounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeu (vowel harmony):Coşkun'da, Coşkun'u.

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