First use Genesis 1:29–30 (God assigns all seed-bearing plants and trees as zo-ra-ma for humans; every green plant as zo-ra-ma for animals).

Composition

zo (living thing) + ra (force/energy) + ma (matter/substance) = organism-energy-matter. Default right-branching: zo modifies [ra-ma]; ra-ma = energy-matter = matter characterized by its energy content. zo-[ra-ma] = the organism's energy-matter = the matter that is the energy-source for organisms = food.

Definition

food; organism-energy-substrate; the material that provides energy and sustenance to living organisms; nutritive matter consumed to sustain biological energy. Covers all food types as a general class. Hebrew okhel (food) in its biological-provision sense (Genesis 1:29–30).

Notes

zo-ra-ma builds on zo-ra (W117: life-energy of organisms) by adding ma (the material substrate that carries or provides that energy). zo-ra is the vitality within an organism; zo-ra-ma is the external material that supplies zo-ra. zo-ra-ma covers all food types without distinguishing: animal, plant, seed-based. The Genesis assignment (1:29–30) uses it for both human and animal provisioning. Extension form: zo-ra-ma-su = food system / organized food supply

zo-ra (W117: life-energy / animating vitality), zo (primitive: living thing), ra (primitive: energy/force), ma (primitive: matter/substance), du-zo-su (W142: fruit — a class of zo-ra-ma for humans)
