deëxtincted

So are we just making up hybrid words with umlauts now like 80’s hair bands? Wouldn’t “de-extincted” be better?

One of my all-time favorite short stories, “The Ugly Chickens,” by Howard Waldrop, answers all questions. You can read it through Hoopla with your library card in the collection Howard Who?
