In some senses, I have been "out of circulation" for 10 to 15 
years; so some things may have changed.  15 years ago, it was 
thought that "dark matter" made up at least 90% of the 
universe's mass; so I chose "slabu" over "fadni" in this case.  
I am also not including matter (trans)formed in expensive 
physics labs nor the nuclei/free electron plasma of active 
stars as "slabu" (familiar) matter to human beings.  Thus, I 
*am* intending to say that all familiar matter is composed of 
atoms.  Perhaps I should use a "lo'i" after all: "ro lo'i ro 
slabu marji ku gunma lo ratni".  

Regarding  the question of using the second place of "marji", 
I have decided that that is not enough to cover the types of 
"made of" that I have in mind; "a line is made of (composed of) 
points" or "a Fraction Object is made of (composed of) two 
Integer Objects" -- a programming example --; neither of these 
is regarded as being made of *matter* at all, but both fall 
within the concept of "made of" or "composed of" as I believe 
it needs to be defined.  "gunma" appears to be the best *gismu* 
for the job, though I wouldn't object to a lujvo being used for 
the job.
