In Response To: Re: Life, Death, Undeath, and Unlife (griefmop)

: Then everyone living is undead? Rocks are undead? No no
: no. See the sophistry you've gotten in to from
: 'defining your terms'? Just because undead looks like
: a composite of un- and dead doesn't mean it is. And
: you've just given a classic counterexample. The sheer
: ridiculousness of the possibility that you and I and a
: rock are undead is proof that the meaning of 'undead'
: is not equivalent to the meaning of 'un-' plus the
: meaning of 'dead'.

Incidentally, at least one dictionary (mine) gives "alive" as a meaning for "undead." It's not listed as a common meaning, and I'll probably never see that use in my lifetime, but it's out there. Though we shouldn't use it in Myth discussions, because it's obviously never used that way in the text.
