subject: A widow file

Hello All,

Wikipedia says: In typesetting, widows and orphans are lines at the beginning
or end of a paragraph which are left dangling at the top or bottom of a page or
column, separated from the rest of the paragraph.

In Fidonet, we have flow files referring to echomail and ticket files (.TIC)
referring to fileecho files. If some echomail file has lost the flow file
referring to it, or a fileecho file has lost the .TIC referring to it, may I
call it a widow file (or maybe an orphan one)?

Michael
