orphan/orphanage

[L.S. Cousins]

As far as I know, the two occurrences at Dhp-a II 72 are unique (VRI 
has: nimaataapitika-). We should note that the actual example of a 
ni(m)maataapitika- the searcher finds is a paccekabuddha. A cow is 
previously rejected as being sasaamikaa and a man as samaataapitiko.
