Declension of the Possession (Alieza)

For possession, a suffix is added, which depends on whether the word ends with a consonant or a vowel. Sometimes, for the former ones, there are two ones, which depends on the last vowel of the given word.

Person	Word ends with consonant	Word ends with vowel
mi	-am, -em	-m
ti	-ad, -ed	-d
on	-ya	-n
biz	-ank, -enk	-nk
tiz	-atok, -etek	-tok, -tek
onk	-yuk	-yuk

1. If the last vowel of the word is one of (a, o, u): use -am, -ad, -ank etc..
2. If the last vowel of the word is one of (e, i, ö, ü): use -em, -ed, -enk etc..
3. The 3rd singular form is used also for general (non-personal) possession.

 Here some examples:

nun "fish" → nunam "my fish", nunad "your fish", nunya "his/her fish", nunank "our fish", nunatok "your fish" (plural), nunyuk "their fish".

is "island" → isam "my island", isad "your island", isya "his/her island", isank "our island", isatok "your island" (plural), isyuk "their island".

mel "honey" → melem "my honey", meled "your honey", melya "his/her honey", melenk "our honey", meletek "your honey" (plural), melyuk "their honey".

temma "subject" → temmam "my subject", temmad "your subject", temman "his/her subject", temmank "our subject", temmatok "your subject" (plural), temmayuk "their subject".

Note: for plural possession (i.e., one holder for several amounts of possessed things), just keep the possessed noun in singular form and use a number or quantifier:
