First use	S116 (T-AX-003): causal clause "because fuel was added."

Composition

ra (energy) + ma (matter/substance) — energy-bearing raw material

Definition

Any substance consumed or converted to produce usable energy. Not restricted to combustion — includes any energy-dense material: chemical fuel, power cells, fissile material. The ra head marks energy as the functional output; ma grounds it as a physical substance.

Notes

Distinct from ra alone (energy as a phenomenon) and ra-ki (energy in motion). ra-ma is specifically the material that stores energy before conversion. ra-ma be = fuel is added / fuel increases.
