With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |

| your | metingyour ornament | metleringyour ornaments |
| his / her | metihis / her ornament | metlerihis / her ornaments |

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