So a female werewolf should actually be a wifwolf? Excellent!

Or wyfwulf... or something. There was no standardized spelling.

Also, I think woman used to mean wife, in the same way it is occasionally used in casual (grrr) American dialect English today. There might be a different word for an unmarried female (and an unmarried female wolf-person!).

causal American dialect

Casual?

With the amount of attention causality gets around here, I have to ask.

Well a language could hardly function if it was acausal, could it?!

Fixed.
