This article addresses the problem which
factors determine noun number marking in Hill Mari. I show how such
factors, as referential status, animacy, semantic class of a noun,
and specificity of a NP may govern the choice of singular or plural
with non-singular referents. The results are compared to data from
other Uralic languages and typological evidence about the category
of noun number.
