If the head noun is ellipted in a possessive construction (anaphoric possessive, cf. 10.2.2.9), number marking attaches to the genitive suffix -é.
| a | diák-é-i |
| the | student-é-PL |
’the student's ones’

Number marking can appear even on numerals, if the ellipted head noun refers to a well-defined group of people. (Note that there is no plural marking on overt nouns when they combine with numerals.)
| a | tíz-ek | tanácsa |
| the | ten-PL | council.POSS |
’the Council of ten (governing body of the Republic of Venice)’
