With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | halim my character | halilerim my characters |
| your | haliŋ your character | halileriŋ your characters |
| his / her | halisi his / her character | halileri his / her characters |
| our | halibiz our character | halileribiz our characters |
| you all's | haligiz you all's character | halilerigiz you all's characters |
| their | halileri their character | halileri their characters |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: halileri can mean "his / her characters", "their character", or "their characters" — context decides.
