Maim seems too strong a word as it says "slightly" but I suppose nothing else fits in.

The M is definite.........the A comes from AZOTAEMIA of which the ??O?A?M are correct

In the thesaurus under maim is scorch.

Didn't know that. I thought to maim was to seriously injure or disfigure in a permanent way. Didn't know it could also mean scorch.

I've put CHOLAEMIA for 7d!! AZOTAEMIA appears to mean urine waste products ????? This is probably of no help!

It's a Scots word, according to P. 584 of Concise Scots Dictionary, i.e.:
