pneo describes winds in motion and, in John 3:8, the spirit moving where it wills.

The attested use describes the movement of winds: winds affect houses, stir the sea, signal heat, fill a sail, or are restrained from the earth. In John 3:8, the same action is predicated of the spirit, whose movement and destination are not known.

1. Winds or spirit moving · dominant

   Present participles occur with a wind filling a foresail in Acts 27:40, stirring the sea in John 6:18, and accompanying the south wind that signals heat in Luke 12:55; in each case the APB renders the relevant clause with wind activity. The aorist plural forms in Matthew 7:25 and Matthew 7:27 occur as the winds act against two houses, while the present singular form in John 3:8 is used of the spirit moving where it wills; the APB renders these clauses “winds blew” and “The spirit blows.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with forms of “blowing”: “wind was blowing,” “winds blew,” and “The spirit blows.” In Revelation 7:1, it renders the restrained action as “no wind would blow”; these are verse-level renderings, not definitionses.
