The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.
With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | sözüm my word | sözlerim my words |
| your | sözüng your word | sözlering your words |
| his / her | sözü his / her word | sözleri his / her words |
| our | sözübüz our word | sözleribiz our words |
| you all's | sözügüz you all's word | sözlerigiz you all's words |
| their | sözleri their word | sözleri their words |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: sözleri can mean "his / her words", "their word", or "their words" — context decides.
