It's Greek to me. But a hint - what English
words do we get from "pneuma"?
pneumatic and pneumonia
I think the Portuguese word for tire is pnuma,

Likewise in Hebrew, Ruach means either "spirit" or "wind".
Then there is the word "nefesh" for which is usually translated as "self" or "soul". See this weeks Hebrew Word of the Day for "Nafsho" - "his soul".
