But I consider this word a strange invention. After all, the "u" in utopia
comes from the greek word "ou", meaning "no". So negating it by changing
the "u" to "dys" is a little strange :)

I can't think of specific examples right now, but there are other places in
the English language where two suffixes meaning "not" are used, but the two
words mean completely opposite things.
