<div class="">I don't know if that counts, but: in Italian, <i class="">ospite</i> means both 'host' and 'guest'. In a given situation, you can't be both, so, (I guess) in a sense this word can be the negation of itself.</div>

Wouldn't the frequent cases of pronouns or pronoun-like words in French<br class="">
(personne = "person, nobody", pas = "step, not", etc.) come close to<br class="">
this notion? And this process has historically also be claimed for other<br class="">
negation words, like Ancient Greek "ou", if I am not mistaken.<br class="">
