With an owner

| your | mejisuwungyour paganism |
| his / her | mejisuwuhis / her paganism |
| our | mejisuwubuzour paganism |
| you all's | mejisuwuğuzyou all's paganism |

There is no plural of this word. The ending would attach like any other — it is the word, not the grammar, that refuses: this is not something Karachay counts.
