The plural marker of Komi-Permyak is the suffix -ez/-jez (Batalova 1975: 124), with the initial consonant of the latter fully assimilated to the final consonant of the noun (2). In the possessive paradigm the 2Sg and 3Sg forms with a plural possessee have either long (3) or short (4) forms. In the latter case the plural marker is -e (cf. Ponomareva 2010: 50, 61). Case markers are added to the plural stem (5)–(8).
