Summary description: Automatic Turkish suffix handling for reference numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatic Turkish suffix harmony for numbers in LuaLaTeX
When a number in a Turkish document is produced by a cross-reference (\ref,
\pageref, \cite), the correct form of any attached suffix depends on how that
number is pronounced — information that is unavailable at editing time.
Hardcoding a suffix works for some numbers but silently produces wrong output
for others.
turkce-sayi resolves this at compile time via LuaTeX. It looks up the
phonological properties of the number's Turkish name and applies four
transformation rules: consonant hardening/softening (sertleşme/yumuşama),
two-way and four-way vowel harmony (ünlü uyumu), and buffer-letter insertion or
vowel drop (kaynaştırma/düşme). Invariant morphemes such as -ki, -ken, and -yor
are detected and vowel harmony is reset at their position so that subsequent
morphemes harmonise correctly. The package requires LuaLaTeX.
Examples:
\trkappend{3}{'de} % → 3'te (sertleşme: üç ends in ç)
\trkappend{6}{'de} % → 6'da (vowel harmony: altı has back vowel)
\trkappend{2}{'inci} % → 2'nci (vowel drop: iki ends in vowel)
\trkpageref{sec:intro}{'de} % → 5'te (suffix determined at compile time)
\trkref{sec:results}{'inci} % → 3'üncü (section number resolved
automatically)
\trkbibref{smith2021}{'de} % → [3]'te (citation number resolved from .aux)
