tlhIch vIpurbe' 
I don't smoke.  (TNK)

(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}. 

(qep'a' 2018):  [{toba'qo}] is just the Federation Standard word; Maltz has heard the phrase {por pur} "inhale leaf", which he assumes is shortened from {por tlhIch pur} "inhale leaf smoke", but he has no idea what kind of {por} "leaf" it might be/

(qurgh, 9/16/2016):  We asked for air as in the stuff around us that can be put into tanks.  We got {rewve'} as the common term and {lay} as a technical term.  We were not told the difference.
