What a difference a final consonant makes ! These two english short words make learners think of the importance of pronouncing and spelling words correctly .If you mispronounce them or misprint these words,their meanings will be very different ,you are not going to be understood and these words will not fit in the contexts.
The words are :
main - an adjective that is only placed before nouns and it means most important , principal or predominant .
maim - an intransitive regular verb (maimed,maimed) that means to injure ,harm or wound someone seriously and permanently.
