In your example, "koe-kogo" means something like "qui vous savez" in
French. "I invited someone important, I am sure you guess whom".
If this example is correct,  the "important one" would be equivalent to a
plural, by extension.
May be you are right. I really don't know. We have to ask other
participants opinion, or find examples in literature.
