On what basis would you draw such an anology? Are you suggesting that the
alpha privative connotes something like you suggest? If so, then what do
you do with a-theist? Once they had a god, but now they don't? What about
the other alpha privatives?
The alpha privative serves the same function in Greek that "un" serves in
english. Thus agamos means "un-married".
