A conjugation question

[elenka]

I second this. Usually, the surname "Moskalets" has the stress on the last
"e", rather than on "a." The accusative case plural depends on whether the
stress is on the last syllable of the surname (then it's -ov ending in the
Acc. plural) or on "a" (then it should be -ev ending in the Accusative plural)

Best wishes,

Elena
