The idea of air as single character has been suggested a couple of years ago by lelle.
I also agree with Wladimir that this is not sh.
But I think that this "single-glyph" interpretation lacks substantiation. What's quite probable is that the objects signified by these items are homogenous, but that does not mean that they would be represented by single glyphs. For example, natural numbers are homogenous, but that does not mean that a natural number is necessarily written as a single digit. Some of them are, but beginning with number 10, they are not.
