With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | sızlığımmy line | sızlıqlarımmy lines |
| your | sızlığıngyour line | sızlıqlarıngyour lines |
| his / her | sızlığıhis / her line | sızlıqlarıhis / her lines |

| you all's | sızlığığızyou all's line | sızlıqlarığızyou all's lines |

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