This is being a bit unimaginative. Jorge's method works for all
cases of two sets such that the members of one set map one to
one to the other.

This said, when you originally came up with "how do you say
_mine_?", my first thought was {da pe/po/po'e mi} (for
restrictedly quantified da). (For specifics and for unrestricted
quantification, the lack of an incidental counterpart to po
and po'e means one must resort to {no'u da po/po'e mi}.
