[comments] Yaskal did not either adopt possessive pronouns or genitive forms of them. It chose to go for the handy possessive forms of Turkish.

Conjugations in Yaskal always drop the pronoun. So, all the language had to do was keeping them just as they were to express possession. Note that the pronoun is always postposed and attached to the possessee, retrieving the last vowel of the word for harmony if necessary.

'Ya yask' = I am a language
'Yaskya' = my language
'Rak yaskler' = they are languages
'Yaskrak' = their language
'Yasklerak' = their languages

'Yaskame' = our language

'Ya şon' = I am a dog
'Şonya' = my dog
'Ve şonlor' = we are dogs
'Şonve' = our dog
'Şonlorve' = our dogs

'Ve şonlorak' = we are their dogs
'Şononorak' = from their dogs
