With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | asıwum my benefit | asıwlarım my benefits |
| your | asıwuŋ your benefit | asıwlarıŋ your benefits |
| his / her | asıwu his / her benefit | asıwları his / her benefits |

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: asıwları can mean "his / her benefits", "their benefit", or "their benefits" — context decides.
