With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | ırısımmy omen | ırıslarımmy omens |
| your | ırısıngyour omen | ırıslarıngyour omens |
| his / her | ırısıhis / her omen | ırıslarıhis / her omens |

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