Gender in Old Klingon?

Altho Klingon has no gender, it does have three different plural
suffixes:
-pu' (beings capable of using language)
-Du' (body parts)
-mey (general plural)
I wonder if this is a survival of an earlier stage that had at least
three genders, corresponding to these plural suffixes? Has Mark Okrand
ever said anything about "Old Klingon"?
