But if you've died, then were undead, and then died again, you'd be un-undead right? So alive? It's basic double jeopardy.

~~You put the double 'un' but forgot the double 'dead'.~~

Oh, I didn't realise you were actually catching the thing mid statement.

Still:

A dead un-dead would be a re-dead, not very alive
Considering the 2x dead person is still capable of commenting, I would assume it came back after re-death and is now in some other condition.

That depends entirely on whether the un- prefix only negates the other un- prefix, or the entire adjective.

The thing is that 'un' is different from stuff like 'not', 'non' and the likes, because it is not just denying the referred word but saying that the effect of the referred word was reverted somehow.

Overthinking is our ikigai.

Now get out of line and continue with further analysis of the 'un'
