maire
1. (noun) horn (of cattle, etc.), antler.
He maha ngā tākuta me ngā Pākehā mōhio e kī ana ko aua mea e rua he maire, ehara i te niho, nō te mea he anga mārō anō kei waho, he iho ngāwari nei kei roto (TWMNT 9/2/1875:36). / Many doctors and knowledgeable Pākehā are saying that those two things are horns, not teeth, because they have a hard outer shell and a soft inner core.
