In the context of the later Hanyu Pinyin system, en Suao can be considered a misspelling of en Su'ao. 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 Suao is not allowed since a word made up of en su and en ao would be spelled as en Su'ao (cf. Su'ao) and a word made up of en su, en a and en o would be spelled as en Su'a'o. In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
