With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | töŋegim my trunk | töŋeklerim my trunks |
| your | töŋegiŋ your trunk | töŋekleriŋ your trunks |
| his / her | töŋegi his / her trunk | töŋekleri his / her trunks |

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