Tavnian

Tavnians were a humanoid race native to the Alpha Quadrant.

In Tavnian society, male and female children were raised separately, and kept unaware of the opposite sex until adolescence.

Sometime prior to 2372, the Tavnian Jeyal married Betazoid Ambassador Lwaxana Troi. With her they conceived a half-Tavnian son who would be named Barin, a name which in the Tavnian language means "little one." (DS9 episode: "The Muse"; TNG novel: The Battle of Betazed)
