Speaking of gas and air going in and out of the mouth:
(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}.
SEE ALSO:
Hob yawn (v)
tlhov wheeze (v)
jev wheeze (v)
chuy sneeze (v)
And that's not to mention other mouth-related words (eat, bite, chew, suck, swallow, gargle, speak, mumble, whisper, etc.) or anatomical terms (mouth, tongue, palate, tongue, teeth, lips, etc.). All in all, quite a lot of vocabulary.

If I swallow Helium and speak with a funny squeaky voice, then there is also gas coming from my mouth... ehm.. okay, it's not gas produced by the body. *haha* just kidding.
