Zephyr

\ZEF-er\ means
.......a gentle, mild breeze.
............the west wind (literary)
.................any of various things of fine, light quality.

Zephyr, in ancient Greek zephyros, was the godly personification of the west wind.
Limerick:
Once there was a zephyr
Every time he blew he caused a stir
As he moved among the trees
A gentle ravishing breeze
From east to west, and zenith to nadir.

The truth is, I first encountered this word, Zephyr, from my husband (well, he wasn't yet then). This is just one of his "netnames".
