Deep breathing in which the diaphragm is free and active, results in a continuous pumping of all of the abdominal and pelvic organs.
Deep breathing is the tool of the masters for letting go of old attachments and old emotions, and for extracting the wisdom hidden within the experiences of life.

 Snoring Surgery: Encyclopedia of Surgery
Snoring is defined as noisy or rough breathing during sleep, caused by vibration of loose tissue in the upper airway.
When a person's nose is stuffy, their attempts to breathe create a partial vacuum in the throat that pulls the softer tissues of the throat together.
Before the patient goes to sleep, he or she will be connected to a polysomnograph, which is an instrument that monitors the patient's breathing, heart rate, temperature, muscle movements, airflow, body position, and other measurements that are needed to evaluate the cause(s) of sleep disorders.

 Coronis
The Coronis is a diacritic that looks like a smooth breathing, never looks like anything but a smooth breathing (except when it looks like a rough breathing), and can be regarded as a special variant of the smooth breathing.
One might note that the redundancy of a rough coronis after an aspirated consonant contributes to the use of a smooth coronis in those contexts; where an aspirated consonant is not involved, it appears philologists are readier to use the rough coronis.
This undermines the notion that the coronis is a sign distinct from the breathing mark: its distribution is in predictable complementary distribution to that of the breathing mark, and its form as smooth or rough is not necessarily independent of the original mark on the second word.

 Diacritics in P46   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Readers familiar with ancient Greek will know that the language is typically printed, in modern editions, with a number of accent and breathing marks that help the user with pronunciation and identification of words.
However, in ancient times these marks were very rarely included in the text; a reader could be expected to know how to pronounce the words based on experience (much as modern English-speakers intuitively know which syllable to stress in a word).
Of the few rough breathings, many are found on the number ἕν (as in example 2, above) to distinguish it from the preposition ἐν.

The most important exception is that upper- and lowercase letters have separate code points, unlike the TLG standard which requires an asterisk to indicate an uppercase letter (however, the asterisk is also part of the font).
A second major variation is that breathing marks, accents, and other diacriticals exist in two forms: one for use with narrow characters and one for use with wide characters.
Standalone vowels (e.g., before an uppercase letter at the beginning of a word) may be simulated by typing a non- breaking space (7) followed by the narrow breathing mark/accent combination.

Breathing Marks: The breathing mark shows whether or not a word beginning with a vowel or diphthong is to be preceded with an 'H' sound.
It is called a rough breathing mark and it tells us that there is an H sound before the alpha.
The accent marks may be combined with the breathing mark, but this does not modify the function of either mark.

 Greek /h/
The most trivial difference is to leave the breathing mark as a diacritic, but to use the older, tack form of the diacritic rather than the mediaeval comma.
Their signs are as follows: acute as in Ζεύϲ, grave as in Πὰν, circumflex as in πῦρ, macron as in Ἥρα ̄, breve as in γά ̆ρ, rough as in ῥῆμα, smooth as in ἄρτοϲ, apostrophe as in ὣϲ ἔφατ’, hyphen as in παϲι-μέλουϲα, hypodiastole as in Δία δ’ οὐκ ἔχεν/ἥδυμοϲ ὕπνοϲ.
Any subsuming of the Cyrillic breathings to the Greek would possibly mean the end of the tack as distinct from the comma; at any rate there is presumably already usage in place for the Cyrillic breathings, which cannot be annulled.

It can also be placed at the beginning of a word to prevent the default smooth breathing (useful in all-capital titles) or at the end of a word to prevent sigma adopting its final form.
Breathings: Normally a smooth breathing is automatically placed on an initial vowel (except rho which is rough by default).
Place an h or H before a vowel to give it a rough breathing (note that whether you use h or H is immaterial to the result; hence Herakles must be input HJraklj=s or hJraklj=s since Hjraklj=s will give a lowercase eta).

The lengthening of the Out Breath to which he refers is directly descended from the wisdom of the breath as practiced in Zen.

 New Testament Greek Pronunciation: Exercise 1
If the comma is backwards, it is called a "rough breathing", and the vowel is pronounced as though there were an "h" before it.
If the comma is not backwards, it is called a "smooth breathing"; a smooth breathing indicates that there is no "h" sound before the vowel.
The "h" sound comes from the rough breathing - without a rough breathing it would be pronounced "ooh".
