A Vainúvah is one who has taken an oath to act as a protector toward another, called the Vainúvahim. The origins of the practise have been lost to the ages, the earliest writings already referring to it as a practise that had been established and ingrained in Cardassian culture. | A Vainúvah <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/oxtWK3WktQI/m/Pmg0XI0JAwAJ "Vainúvah"], Dalin [[Lukin Zorkal]], [[Starbase 118 Ops]], 239711.25</ref> is one who has taken an oath to act as a protector toward another, called the Vainúvahim<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/oHCy7EBx__0/m/vQzooyuvAAAJ "What Would You Ask Of Me?"], Dalin [[Lukin Zorkal]], [[Starbase 118 Ops]], 239712.06</ref>.

Such an oath is taken extremely seriously, and the Vainúvah is bound for life, unless the Vainúvahim grants a release or one of them dies. In the case of children, the closest equivalent of a Vainúvah is the Terran concept of ‘godparent’. Although orphans are generally considered outcasts, any orphaned child who has a Vainúvah is immediately adopted into the family and treated as if offspring by birth - though such an occurrence is rare. In this way <i>only</i> is a parentless child still considered part of society. | Such an oath is taken extremely seriously, and the Vainúvah is bound for life, unless the Vainúvahim grants a release or one of them dies.
