[Lingtyp] Someone whose father ...

[David Nash]

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