Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the morphosyntactic features of word forms that include two different case endings. Such double marking of case occurs in two kinds of elliptical constructions — possessive nominal constructions and comparative constructions. It is shown that if the head of a possessive construction is ellipted, the grammatical markers of all members of the possessive construction are retained in the nominal dependent, whereas the ellipsis of a component of the comparative construction will retain just the case marker of the ellipted component.
