inhospedable = inhospitalario.

La selva es inhóspita (it's quite difficult to live there, this is an uncomfortable place to live).

El dueño de ese hotel es inhospitalario / inhóspito con los extraños (he has a lack of hospitality)

Inhóspito is more used with things (places: jungle, desert, etc.) and inhospitalario is more used with people.

AHhhHhhhhhHhhhh.... thank you VERY much!! MUY helpful!!

So, hospiciano = huérfano?
