With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | enimmy width | enlerimmy widths |
| your | eningyour width | enleringyour widths |
| his / her | enihis / her width | enlerihis / her widths |
| our | enibizour width | enleribizour widths |
| you all's | enigizyou all's width | enlerigizyou all's widths |
| their | enleritheir width | enleritheir widths |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: enleri can mean "his / her widths", "their width", or "their widths" — context decides.
