(Though it could be argued that rhetorically the English "my" actually serves the same purpose as the Na'vi "ma" and isn't really there to indicate possession.)

'my' vocative would be more like 'ma oeyä' e.g. ma oeyä 'eylan - my friend

Sure, but if - as I said - it is argued that the rhetorical function of the English "my" is very similar to the Na'vi "ma" and is not so much meant to indicate possession, the better translation would in fact be "ma eylan".
