At least in the case of body parts, there does appear to be some sort of gender marking on special [[Vadi#Number| singulative ]] forms, which also demonstrate an interesting split on the [[Vadi#Number| number system]].  The Šibbūru believes these divergent forms suggest that Vadi at one time had a more extensive noun class system, whereas the Traditionalists believe these differentiated forms are simply fossil remnants of a long defunct gender marking.
