Egemen with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Egemen'e, Egemen'in), 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 Egemen is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Egemen'de, Egemen'i.

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