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.

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