With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | oblozhkammy cover | oblozhkalarımmy covers |
| your | oblozhkangyour cover | oblozhkalarıngyour covers |
| his / her | oblozhkasıhis / her cover | oblozhkalarıhis / her covers |

| you all's | oblozhkağızyou all's cover | oblozhkalarığızyou all's covers |
| their | oblozhkalarıtheir cover | oblozhkalarıtheir covers |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: oblozhkaları can mean "his / her covers", "their cover", or "their covers" — context decides.
