With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | tobum my ball | toplarım my balls |
| your | tobuŋ your ball | toplarıŋ your balls |
| his / her | tobu his / her ball | topları his / her balls |
| our | tobubuz our ball | toplarıbız our balls |

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