With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | iemmy owner | ielerimmy owners |
| your | iengyour owner | ieleringyour owners |
| his / her | iesihis / her owner | ielerihis / her owners |

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