With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | kirişim my ridge | kirişlerim my ridges |
| your | kirişiŋ your ridge | kirişleriŋ your ridges |
| his / her | kirişi his / her ridge | kirişleri his / her ridges |

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