Presumably, accusative, since it's the object of "give". Whether you really need a special set of possessive pronouns (like Engl. mine, yours,...ours, theirs etc.) is another matter; though you'd obviously need some way to form sentences like that. Kash just uses the genitive forms of the personal pronouns, with various complications.
