The associative plural marker is affixal and may not express any other variety of plural. Consider the Hungarian associative construction <i>Pál-<b>ék</b></i> 'Paul-<b>PL</b>' for "Paul and company" in comparison to the additive construction <i>toll-<b>ak</b></i> 'pen-<b>PL</b>' for "pens" (*<i>toll-<b>ék</b></i> 'pen-PL' for "pens")
