@LawrenceDeSouza: what about it? Много requires an object in pl. gen., exactly what we see here. -ей is the ending for pl. gen. of nouns with this declension paradigm, compare чертей, соседей, обручей.

| Jul 21, 2012 at 16:20 | comment | added | Lawrence DeSouza | What about the change of ending from -И to -ей? | |
