Eylül with Turkish suffixes

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

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