With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | naqışımmy ornament | naqışlarımmy ornaments |
| your | naqışıngyour ornament | naqışlarıngyour ornaments |
| his / her | naqışıhis / her ornament | naqışlarıhis / her ornaments |

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