Kevser with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Kevser'e, Kevser'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 Kevser is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Kevser'de, Kevser'i.
Because Kevser ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Kevser'i, Kevser'e) with no buffer letter.

|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Kevser'i | Kevser'i tanıyor musun? Do you know Kevser? |
