kin is in almost all usage close to "also." kin is almost always used as a modifier. Instead of modifying the semantic space of the word it follows, it clarifies the relationship between that word and other ideas that could occupy the same position in the sentence. So if it modifies a subject, it means there are other things that do the same action. If it modifies a verb, it means there are other actions done by the same thing. If it modifies an object, it means that there are other things the action is done to.

Many people also use "kin" at the end (or, less commonly, the beginning) to modify the whole thing, similar to the English word "also." kin generally lacks a noun or transitive meaning for most speakers. If it is used in these positions, it may be similar to "alsoness" and "to make something also."

commentary

在一般使用中(不論 pu 前後),a 和 kin 為兩個詞義不同的單詞。pu 將它們視為同義詞。

kin、en 和(現已過時的)kan 的用法在 2002 年發生巨變。
