Wind and Omnipredicativity

A big white man at the front of  7-11 today exclaimed "Wind!" whilst I was consuming my pizza and Korean iced tea, the heavy precipitation descending.  He was alluding to my predilection for languages with omnipredicativity.  Nahuatl, a Mexican indigenous language, is such.  I desire to be able to say one word, a verb or noun, and it would be a full predicative.  English is not such.  Some experimental constructed languages are such.  With one vocable, there is breath.
