Line 59:
"{{tok|en}}" divided between modifiers = and
{{Indent|1={{tok|jan pona en suli}} = good and tall person}}
</blockquote>
There was no clear way to divide between head nouns. "en" needed to
be repeated to divide between multiple main nouns, which was clumsy
at times
<blockquote>
{{Indent|1={{tok|en kon lete en suno}} = the north wind and the sun}}
(because "kon lete en suno" would have meant "cold and sunny air")

===Modern usage===
{{needs work|post-2002 usage was not completely the same as current usage, as it was not limited to subjects. IIRC {{tp|jan Pije}}'s course continued to teach {{tp|en}} in prepositional phrases and in {{tp|pi}} phrases until the course was deprecated, well after {{tp|pu}} was published. So the "historical usage" and "modern usage" sections should perhaps be renamed or merged.|section}}
A reform proposed in October 2002 restricted {{tp|en}} to dividing between the subjects of a sentence and no longer dividing modifiers.<ref name="forums2002" /> This reform was accepted unanimously by the online community by 1 November 2002 and became standard usage thereafter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.tokipona.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=17&p=220|title=Poll results for tokipona|website=Toki Pona Forums|author=tokipona@yahoogroups.com|date=2002-11-01|access-date=2023-10-10}}</ref>▼
