<p>Thanks for your improvements. Writing with the autocorrecting
persecutor may entail inaccuracies. I beg your pardon.</p>
<p>A better wording is: "someone whose child [or brother, sister,
etc.] has died".<br>
</p>
<p>Anyone have an answer to my question?<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

first question is what does "Someone to whom a child has
died" mean? (its not a grammatical or obviously
interpretable utterance for me). Or are you just looking
for languages with equivalents to the words <i>widower </i>and
<i>orphan</i>. Perhaps clarify with a kinship tree :) <br>

<p>Dear colleagues, <br>
</p>
<p>words like <i>widower </i>and <i>orphan </i>imply
a complex web of relationships. An orphan is someone
whose father or mother has died; a widower is someone
whose wife or husband has died. <br>
</p>
<p>Do you know any language in which there are words
that mean "someone to whom a child has died", "someone
to whom a brother or sister has died" etc.?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>R Simone<br>
