What do you call a female werewolf?

Some spooky Sunday trivia...

The term "werewolf" (a creature that is half man, half wolf) is derived from the Old English words "wer" (meaning "man" [as in, singular male human]) and "wulf" (meaning... well, "wolf").

The word for woman in Old English is "wif".  Following the same etymological principles, the term for a creature that is half woman, half wolf, is "wifwolf"

@hamishdoodles has launched the hashtags #MakeWifwolfAThing and #NormalizeWifwolf, as well as a Redbubble store to hopefully spread awareness of the term.
