<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>
</p>
