In the unique context of the word en Shaanxi, the first syllable is en shaan (spelled with two a's to distinguish the two Chinese provinces en Shaanxi and en Shanxi) and hence there should be no syllable-dividing mark within the syllable en shaan. Read literally, the word en Sha'anxi would indicate a word made up of the three syllables en sha, en an, and en xi. Further reading Sha'anxi
