Rüzgar with Turkish suffixes

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

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