Last clue... last letter

Both definitions are women in Chambers - I want to know how the clue breaks down to check which is correct.

general consensus was Vahine
vain - worthless
e - last letter (term) of abuse
with H for husband inside
wahine is maori woman wheras defn of Vahine is polynesian WIFE so we decided to go with VAHINE
