Inflection of proper nouns
What's the accusative if name of a female person ends in u? Male name ending in a? Other cases, where the case ending marker is part of the normal name? How one copes with them?
Finnish names end in vowel.
Croatian male names ending in -a eg. Ivica would be Ivicu in accusative case.
Borna - Bornu
Saša - Sašu
Luka - Luku
So that means that you add -u instead of -a.
I can't think of any female name ending in -u but if there's one than you just leave it original in accusative case. At least I think so.
