In Response To: Has "Undeath" Ever Been Used? *PIC* (Archer »–)›)

: I have an important question: has the word
: "undeath" actually ever been used in Myth?
: ever? Get back to me as soon as you can, or I'll write
: the follow-up to this without further comments. :-)

Neither "undeath" nor "unliving" has been used, so you could (if you wanted) define "unlife" as the substantive [that the right term? I'm too lazy to go grab my grammar book] form of "undead."

That seems a little linguistically unnatural to me, though. :-) More likely, I think, it just turned out that way since the scholarly types that use the "unliving/unlife" terminology are the ones interested in the state of undeath/unlife itself, while the layman types that use the "undead/undeath" terminology are worried about specific undead/unliving beings. Hence "undead" and "unlife" get used in the Mythworld more than "unliving" and "undeath."
