With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | tizginim my row | tizginlerim my rows |
| your | tizginiŋ your row | tizginleriŋ your rows |
| his / her | tizgini his / her row | tizginleri his / her rows |
| our | tizginibiz our row | tizginleribiz our rows |
| you all's | tizginigiz you all's row | tizginlerigiz you all's rows |
| their | tizginleri their row | tizginleri their rows |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: tizginleri can mean "his / her rows", "their row", or "their rows" — context decides.
