The Importance of Breath

In Hebrew the same word for breath is also a word for spirit or. And also the word for wind. Is it too far of a hermeneutical leap to suggest that spirit, if spirit is breath, by its very nature is silent because breath is not the same thing as word or language? I don't know whether you can finally say that the raw spirit, when breath is silent. So I think that's a little tricky, but it's okay.
