I see nothing wrong with using {gunma} in general, since I'd define "composed of" to mean "made up of", and it's certainly far better than something like {cmima}

Was Robin trying to say that marji₂ already has this covered? I don't think that's very good for the defining statement -- as in, saying {slabu marji lo ratni ku} conveys that we're talking about ordinary matter made up of atoms, not that all ordinary matter is made up of atoms.
 
Aren't they the same in this case? After all, he's *defining* ordinary matter to be made up of atoms. Thus all of it is.
