Ruach (רוּחַ)
Ruach is breath, wind and spirit in one word — the ambiguity is the doctrine and not a defect of the language — and it is the word of the hovering in Genesis 1:2 and of the spirit of the Lord throughout the prophets.
The word is grammatically feminine and is one of the terms the tradition uses for the presence; the 214 itself has no well-known partner in the handlists, which is worth saying, because published gematriot are a selection from a much larger set of unremarkable values.

- Meaning
Ruach is breath, wind and spirit in one word — the ambiguity is the doctrine and not a defect of the language — and it is the word of the hovering in Genesis 1:2 and of the spirit of the Lord throughout the prophets. The tradition pairs it with nefesh and neshamah as the levels of the soul, and reads ruach elohim as the breath that comes before speech. The compound's 300 is the value of shin, the letter of fire and of Shaddai.
