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)?

I've never heard them called that, but I don't see why not. I'd
personally call those files "orphans" rather than widows, but I'm not
sure why!
