I remember *SoSchIm* from an episode of Star Trek TNG, but do we have it
from a more canonical source?  If not, we should probably leave it alone. 
As for orphan, my guess is that the most straightforward way to say this
would be:

			qorDu' ghajbe'bogh puq

			         or perhaps

			   tuq ghajbe'bogh puq
