What is the point of the two sonum examples?

Why do we have, in the Turkish section, under Noun, the two sonum examples? "My happy ending" is already somewhat unusual, although it could refer to the song "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne, but "I am the happy ending" is semantically weird. Similar examples could be given for many Turkish nouns, like for dev we have devim, which can mean, depending on the stress, "I am the giant" or "my giant". Likewise, for kul, the term bir kulum can mean "I am a slave" or "a slave of mine". And so on. So why do we have this specifically here?  --Lambiam 18:52, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
