Some plural systems may wind up splitting. That is, the individual system members will, intentionally or otherwise, wind up as singular individuals within a clade.

Stories such as [[Cowboy|"Cowboy"]] remain outside the norm, though they are absolutely still valid. | Some plural systems may wind up splitting.
