{{tp|en}} is a {{w|Subject (grammar)|subject}} marker particle, similar to how {{tp|[[li]]}} and {{tp|[[e]]}} are {{w|Predicate (grammar)|predicate}} and {{w|Object (grammar)|direct object)}} marker particles, respectively. However, with {{tp|en}}, the first subject is always unmarked, thus it only appears between multiple subjects.
{{tp|en}} {{tp|en}} introduces a new {{w|Subject (grammar)|subject}}, similarly to how the particles {{tp|[[li]]}} and {{tp|[[e]]}} introduce a {{w|Predicate (grammar)|predicate}} and {{w|Object (grammar)|direct object}}, respectively. In standard usage, it chiefly appears in between subjects.

In {{tp|[[nasin kijetesantakalu]]}} and similar [[styles of speech]], it is proposed that {{tp|en}} is a general subject marker particle, where the first subject is always unmarked, thus it only appears between multiple subjects.
