HQ 12.4 p8: Air, for example, comes into and out of the nose or mouth. The word for breath is {tlhuH}, and that for breathe is also {tlhuH}. To breathe in, or inhale, is {pur}; to breathe out, or exhale, is {rech. [...] To breathe noisily, or wheeze, is {jev}. (This is also the verb "storm", though Maltz couldn't decide whether this was meaningful or just a coincidence.)
