(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></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;color:rgb(76,17,48)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;color:rgb(76,17,48)">best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;color:rgb(76,17,48)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;color:rgb(76,17,48)">Adam<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 11:27 AM Raffaele Simone <<a href="mailto:rsimone@os.uniroma3.it" target="_blank">rsimone@os.uniroma3.it</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<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>
