Ezgi with Turkish suffixes

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

Because Ezgi ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Ezgi'yi, Ezgi'ye and Ezgi'yle, and n in the genitive Ezgi'nin.
