Yes, a normal way to do this in Old Uyghur is NOM-GEN NOM-POSS, like /äv-nıŋ kapıg-ı/, to use the same words in your example, or /tiši-lär-niŋ tog-ı yumzug-ı/ "the flag and banner of women."

While we're talking about loanwords, /ḥšåmiṯå/ (also found with prothetic alef: /ʔaḥšåmiṯå/) is one too; in this case cf. Sgd /xšām/ (and /xšām xur-/), Pa/MP/NP /šām/, etc. ≈ "evening, evening meal." Preservation of /ḥš/ points to an early loan. More at Ciancaglini, 180.

Syr (& other Aram) /mallåḥå/ (> Arb /mallāḥ/) is not a derivative of the "salt" root √mlḥ, but a Sumerian > Akkadian loanword, i.e. Sum /malah/ (/ma/ "ship", /lah/ "bring") > Akk /malāḫu/.
