"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}
... To breathe even more noisily, or snore, is {wuD}." (HQ 12.4:8)
Pun: "saw wood" (an idiom for snoring)?
More breathy verbs include {Hob} "yawn", {chuy} "sneeze" and {ruq}
"belch". Note also {tlhov}, a synonym for "wheeze" in TKD (KE side).
