@OrganicMarble - It's unlikely that there will be another book about genetically engineered animals called bors and tarbeks, unless it's a sequel

This seems to be Stepwater by L. Warren Douglas. According to goodreads:
In a time when genengineered humans inhabit alien worlds, the bors,
humans with bear genes, and the mantee, a human/otter mix, reach the
brink of war when a man and a woman break the strongest taboo of their
clans--and only the Arbiter has the answer.
From the book:
Tarbeks' sulphurous metabolisms seemed unearthly, but who knew what
genes they owed to bacteria that lived in undersea volcanic vents?
And:
There lay a city, Nort, occupied by wends, mantees, fards, and the
occasional tarbek.
