If one could make a lujvo for 'charged- particle', and then attach numbers to it to signify how many (since in principle it is the # of protons/electrons that differenciates atoms) you could have words for hydrogen and gold, and still have room for elements yet to be discovered. You can then make a lujvo for 'positive-charged-particle', 'negative- charged-particle', and 'no-charged-particle' for proton, electron, and neutron.
