Gülizar with Turkish suffixes

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

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