  Suppose lambda is a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality kappa. For a
model M of cardinality lambda, let No(M) denote the number of isomorphism types
of models N of cardinality lambda which are L_{infty lambda}-equivalent to M.
In [Sh:189] inverse kappa-systems A of abelian groups and their certain kind of
quotient limits Gr(A)/Fact(A) were considered. It was proved that for every
cardinal mu there exists an inverse kappa-system A such that A consists of
abelian groups having cardinality at most mu^kappa and card(Gr(A)/Fact(A))= mu.
In [Sh:228] a strict connection between inverse kappa-systems and possible
values of No was proved. In this paper we show: for every nonzero mu <=
lambda^kappa there is an inverse kappa-system A of abelian groups having
cardinality < lambda such that card(Gr(A)/Fact(A))= mu (under the assumptions
2^kappa < lambda and theta^{< kappa}< lambda for all theta < lambda when mu >
lambda), with the obvious new consequence concerning the possible value of No.
Specifically, the case No(M)= lambda is possible when theta^kappa < lambda for
every theta < lambda.
