Şule with Turkish suffixes

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

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