Nuh with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Nuh'a, Nuh'un), 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 Nuh is u, a back rounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeu (vowel harmony):Nuh'ta, Nuh'u.

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

The final consonant is voiceless (one of the “Fıstıkçı Şahap” letters f, s, t, k, ç, ş, h, p), so the d of the locative and ablative endingshardens to t:-ta and -tan: Nuh'ta, Nuh'tan.
