Hi Megan
I pronounce the 'mai' the same as 'my', but I suppose others have different
pronunciations.
'Maia' was a fertility goddess, and the month of May was named after her - springtime,
fertility c in the Northern hemisphere.
I wasn't thinking of scrabble when I said we need to learn the word and use it!

Joy,
How do you pronounce this word? I want to make sure I say it
correctly. It also looks like a good one to use when you have one of those
awful all vowel scrabble hands!
Meaghan,
This is the sense of
the word 'maieutic', which means 'pertaining to the midwife'. It's a word
we all need to learn and use frequently.
