Oh, good, thank you. But the prize for a good answer is a next question. ;-) How to say "x1 consists of x2" in most general case? Consider "The white color consists of seven different colors", "The mankind consist of three races", "The atmosphere of the planet Mars consists of carboxyde only", "The encyclopedia consists of the mass of articles". I have looked over {gumna}, {marji}, {zbasu}, then {cmima}, {mixre}, {pagbu}, {selci}, then {spisa}, even {xukmi} - nothing seems to fit for me. Any ideas? ...
