         DefinitionShort: an offspring whose parents either are no longer alive or no longer function as parents (as the result of having abandoned their offspring)

         Glosses: orphan

         Comments: Some languages make a distinction in terms for ‘orphan’ by indicating whether the child has been abandoned or whether one or both of the parents are dead. In languages where some indication of relative age must be introduced in speaking of ‘orphans,’ it is preferable in {S:05900102700026} to use a term which pertains to young children.
