breathings
Rhythmic air intake
Breathings are the acts or instances of drawing air in and out.
The word appears in contexts emphasizing repeated or continuous respiration: The doctor listened to the patient's breathings through the stethoscope.
In Greek grammar, breathings are diacritical marks indicating whether an initial vowel is aspirated (rough breathing) or not (smooth breathing).
