This can be both plural and singular.

Yes, but article use can still affect number. It's a zero-plural:

"Vi fant et fotavtrykk i sanden" - one foot print
"Vi fant fotavtrykk i sanden" - unspecified quantity, but more than one.

No problem.

Click the "N1" here on http://www.nob-ordbok.uio.no/pe...ordbok=bokmaal

for a paradigm. It may not be the same as an English zero-plural, but as you see, the indefinite plural is unchanged from singular.
