Esin with Turkish suffixes

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

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