Datapoint Michif/Occurrence of nominal plural markers

Cree nouns get Cree plural markers, which can be suffixed to an animate noun (-ak) or inanimate noun (-a). Cree nouns are uncommon.
The overwhelming majority of nouns is French, and here plurality is marked in the prenominal article lii (from French les). The plural marker is not marked for gender (as in French). There is, unlike in French, no separate indefinite plural marker (French des).
There are also nominalized Cree verbs that regularly get French articles or possessives, but we have no examples of such nouns in plural.
