    Why not "Deset nebo jedenáct z nich tam bydlelo."?

          1. you use the n- pronouns with prepositionas

          2. you need z here, not od

          "z nich" would be approriate here but does not fit the sentence that well anyway. It is not currently accepted and I do not immediately see any word order where it would sound natural.

          Why ‘Bydlelo’ and not ‘Bydleli’?

            Please review how numbers above four behave, they use the singular verb.
