"en" is now used to divide between head nouns. […] There is no longer a way to divide between modifiers. This is no longer necessary. A "tall and good" person is simply a tall "good person" or a good "tall person", as you will.

==Experimental usage==
{{Experimental}}
{{Needs work|Reference nasin kijetesantakalu|section}}

===Non-April Fools' grammar===
In an experimental style, the word {{tp|en}} is introduced before every subject, except when there is only a single subject without any context phrases or particles preceding it. Rationale includes clarifying the subject and harmonization with other particles, such as {{tp|li}} and {{tp|e}}.

{{Example
|en ijo laso en ijo loje li lon.
|There are blue and red things.
|en ijo-laso en ijo-loje li lon.
}}

{{Example
|taso en tenpo pini en tenpo lon la ni li lon ala.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lipukule.org/post/2023/01/03/nasin-pi-utala-meli-mije/|title=nasin pi utala meli mije|lang=tok|website={{tok|lipu kule}}|author={{tok|jan Olipija}}|date=2023-01-03|access-date=2024-02-13}}</ref>
|However, both in the past and present, that has not come true.
|taso en tenpo pini en tenpo lon la ni li lon ala
