Taha with Turkish suffixes

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

Because Taha ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Taha'yı, Taha'ya and Taha'yla, and n in the genitive Taha'nın.
