With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | tizimim my row | tizimlerim my rows |
| your | tizimiŋ your row | tizimleriŋ your rows |
| his / her | tizimi his / her row | tizimleri his / her rows |

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