[ss Ensemble] labels a connective that relates two things (typically entities) to indicate that they form a general semantic
grouping of some kind. In this grouping, they are on roughly equal footing—neither is a part, member, possession, location, or containing event for the other—though one may be presented as slightly more prominent in the discourse.

Ensemble relations in English are prototypically expressed with conjunctions like *and*, but may also be construed via [ss Ancillary] adpositions:

- [ss Ensemble--Ancillary]:

    - [ex 001 "rice <u>[p en/with Ensemble--Ancillary]</u>/<u>[p en/without Ensemble--Ancillary]</u> beans (= served or mixed together)"]

    - [ex 002 "A smile [p en/with Ensemble--Ancillary] a nod was his answer."]

    - [ex 003 "Do these shoes go [p en/with Ensemble--Ancillary] this outfit? [cf. [exref 031 Ancillary]]"]

## Versus [ss Ancillary]
