Ungefahrt is a funny-sounding German word

Do you mean "ungefähr" (it means approximately)? The Umlaut is not optional. Otherwise it looks like "umgefahren". But "Ungefahrt" is not a German word.

Umfahren is a nice German word. It could mean to drive around somebody or to knock somebody over. Total opposite meaning.

Sounds like it'd be great friends with the English terms "oversight" and "sanction".

Thats the one probably, does it have a -t at the end ever?

I don't think so.

You can have "ungefährlich" (harmless) .. or "Gefährt" (a vehicle). But nothing with "un" prefix and a "t" suffix I can think off.
