{{Experimental}}
 
TheThere is an experimental proposal of the word {{tp|anu}} may behave similarly toas a [[semiparticle]]. andFor thusexample, beit able tomay be part of a [[la phrase|{{tp|la}} phrase]], as a whole meaning "otherwise". This phrase is similar to {{tp|[[ante]] la}}.▼
===Content word===
The word {{tp|anu}} is sometimes used as a [[content word]] meaning "to choose, to decide". This meaning is controversial due to the lack of content word meanings given to other particles in the language.▼

===Semiparticle===
▲The word {{tp|anu}} may behave similarly to a [[semiparticle]] and thus be able to be part of a [[la phrase|{{tp|la}} phrase]], as a whole meaning "otherwise".

In smaller communities,{{citation needed|reason=who?}} an experimental usage of {{tp|anu}} was proposed as a semiparticle, similar to {{tp|[[taso]]}} and {{tp|[[kin]]}}, as [[modifier]]s of a phrase. This usage notably reduces the level of ambiguity created by {{tp|anu}} in situations where it would otherwise be unclear to replace particles or prepositions.
