Sezgin with Turkish suffixes

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

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