Eda with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Eda'ya, Eda'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 Eda is a, a back unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeı (vowel harmony):Eda'da, Eda'yı.

Because Eda ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Eda'yı, Eda'ya and Eda'yla, and n in the genitive Eda'nın.
