[Lexicog] opposite of orphan

[Dr. Hayim Y. Sheynin]

We have in Hebrew the similar term (perhaps from the parallel root to
the Arabic one) Shakkuul.
Hooriim shakkuuliim (parents bereaved of a child)
Aav shakkuul (a father bereaved of a child)
Eem shakkuulaah (a mother bereaved of a child)
[double vowel means long one, according to masoretic rules of Biblical
Hebrew]. In Modern Hebrew in practice there is no distinction of long
and short vowels.

Best wishes,

Dr. Hayim Y. Sheynin

We have such term in Arabic (for a parent who lost one
or more of their children): thakla (a mother bereaved
of a child) and thaklan (a father bereaved of a
child).
Hope this helps..
