With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | payımmy share | paylarımmy shares |
| your | payıngyour share | paylarıngyour shares |
| his / her | payıhis / her share | paylarıhis / her shares |
| our | payıbızour share | paylarıbızour shares |
| you all's | payığızyou all's share | paylarığızyou all's shares |
| their | paylarıtheir share | paylarıtheir shares |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: payları can mean "his / her shares", "their share", or "their shares" — context decides.
