In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with en a, en o or en e. Hence, en Haerbin is not allowed since a word made up of en ha, en er and en bin would be spelled as en Ha'erbin (cf. Ha'erbin). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will. References Further reading Ha'erbin, Haerbin
