I did a little research, hoping wind, "ἄνεμος," might be translated as spirit, but it is not.  What I did learn is that Jesus doesn't user ἄνεμος all that much, since it refers to a strong violent wind, and when Jesus uses a wind metaphor for spirit, he used πνεῦμα.  [http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/trench/section.cfm?sectionID=73]

"1) a motion produced by winds, storms, waves, etc  1a) to agitate or shake  1b) to cause to totter  1c) to shake thoroughly, of a measure filled by shaking its  contents together  2) to shake down, overthrow  2a) to cast down from one's (secure and happy) state  2b) to move, agitate the mind, to disturb one"

The last definition seems particuarly interesting to me:  to agitate the mind, if there is something else meant by κάλαμος than reed or staff.
