Talk:Gindibu

Gender?
Given that our record of this Battle was written by the Assyrians, who probably never met Gindibu directly. And the next time the Arabs show up in recorded History they are ruled by Queens for 5 straight Monarchs. I feel like we can't be certain in assuming Gindibu was male. Even if the name is written in a masculine form, that could have come from the Assyrians mishearing it.--JaredMithrandir (talk) 11:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

JaredMithrandir, the sources are unanimous, and as a personal analysis the word itself, gindib (grasshopper) is masculine in Arabic, while names like Zabiba (raisin), shamsi, Yatie are clearly feminine in the Arabic language, regardless of form. Some names can be unisex but these are not one of them. Julia Domna Ba&#39;al (talk) 05:03, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
