Usage notes

• It is used only to separate multiple subjects, but not objects or predicates. While it is sometimes used in other positions, this remains controversial.

• As an April Fool's joke in 2021, Sonja Lang claimed that en is a subject marker, which is dropped when at the start of a sentence. In this usage, it could be used alongside li and e to allow for free word order.
