Warlpiri, for instance, has a kinship suffix /-puka/ so that K-puka
means 'person bereaved someone to whom they are K'<br>
Look in the English finder of
<a href="http://ausil.org/Dictionary/Warlpiri/index-english/index.htm" target="_blank">http://ausil.org/Dictionary/Warlpiri/index-english/index.htm</a> undered
'bereaved' for several instances.<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>
