แฉแแแ (my), แจแแแ (your), แแแกแ (his/her/its), แฉแแแแ (our), แแฅแแแแ (your pl./polite), แแแแ (their).
Good news: the form never changes for gender or number of the owned thing - แฉแแแ แซแแ (my brother), แฉแแแ แแ (my sister), แฉแแแ แฌแแแแแแ (my books). And แแแกแ covers both "his" and "her" - no gender.
