I did one of the beginner homework, my answer was wrong and don´t understand why. Here is the exercise:Assuming you want to add a dative case suffix (-e, -a) to a noun, which of the following data would you need to know?



1. What the last vowel is
2. How many vowels there are in the word
3. Whether the word ends with a vowel or a consonant
4. What the first vowel is
5. What the last consonant is
6. What the first consonant is

My answer was 1. and 3. which was wrong. According to the solution the right answer is 1. 3. and 5. . Why? I think the 5. doesn´t make any sense in dative case.

The last consonant may be important with loan words ending in L and T. For example we add -e to the words moral (morale), gol (gole), kabahat (kabahate), sıhhat (sıhhate)  instead of -a.
