"I know it's not the answer to the question but I think it's interesting in a tangential way, so I'm going to tell you all anyway.

In Indonesian there are two words for someone who has lost a parent: yatim for someone who has lost their father..."

Interestingly, in Urdu, 'yateem' (or 'yatim') means an orphan too... though it isn't specific to a child who has lost his/her father.
