HQ 12.4:8:  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}. ... (Maltz was quite amused when he realized that the Klingon word {rech} exhale sounded like the English word retch - that is, vomit - but he couldn't explain why he thought it was so funny.)
