What do you mean by the suffix -gi ???

According to the suffix dictionary there is not a -gi suffix and I have not come across 'g' being used as a fusion consonant.

Don't you mean the suffix "-i" added to a word ending with "k"? Adding this suffix induces a consonant change and "k" becomes "ğ" as in:

ekmek -> ekmeği istiyorum

It's the only "-gi" that comes to my mind :-S

remember that you only use this suffix if you want to be specific!!

ekmek istiyorum= i want bread
ekmeği istiyorum= i want the bread

That still doesn't make sense of the question.......

The question seems to be:
how do you add the -gi suffix to at (horse)
The problem with this is that there is no such thing as a -gi suffix and the -i suffix does not cause consonant mutation to form -ği when added to "at".

So the answer to the question seems to be:
atgı which is not a valid word formation!
