As in the nouns or the verb? No, I am kidding. Actually the pronunciation is the same for both the nouns and the verb, but they don't mean the same thing. The Anglo-Saxon verb "mote" means "may" or "might" as in "so mote it be." The noun "mote" has three definitions. Mote means a dug out well surrounding an edifice, or a trenchic type of barrier surrounding an edifice. The other definition for "mote" means "speck", "flicker"... something small or tiny. The third definition is "meeting lodge" or "meeting place." The pronunication for all of these words is mo't, with a long "o" sound as in Moe, Know, Go, So, Show. Some dialects may give a slight vocal breath where the final "e" is in place as in "mot-'eh" But this is an abnormal variation. The proper pronunciation for all three of these words is the English one, because of the Anglo-Saxon origin. Mote rhymes with boat, goat, float, and coat.

What does the phrase mean take the beam out of your own eyes?

The comparison (from the Bible) is that before you comment on a "mote" in someone else's eye, one should take the "beam" out of your own.It means that before complaining about little faults in others, we should look to our own big faults.The reference is made twice in the Gospels, in Matthew and in LukeMat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.Luk 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?Luk 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
