Examples
.
Water and air are elements of nature.
.
Every element of the system has to work.
.
The most important element is the person.
An is a constituent part of a whole, whether that whole is a chemical table, a machine or an argument; is the plainer word for a share or portion. Read the ending as one root plus -o, not as a -ment- suffix: Esperanto has no such suffix.
