Naciye with Turkish suffixes

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

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