"Charged particle" would be "dicka'u". But IMO that's not really what you want. The best think would be something with the structure: "x1 is a quantity of the chemical element with nuclear charge x2 [li]" A possible lujvo would be {xumcmirlai}. (I hope I formed the lujvo correctly. What I wanted to say is {xukmi (se) cmima klani}. Of course the place structure does not follow the rules but I don't think there is a better possiblity if you want to use a lujvo. IMO would be the best possibilty to make up a gismu with the structure since "chemical element" is a quite fundamental concept in our modern world. mu'omi'e ctefan. ------------------------ Yahoo!
