In this paper, {\em e-word}s are used for coding $k$-ary trees with $n$ internal nodes. The properties of e-words are discussed in depth, such as the necessary and sufficient condition of e-words, and based on the properties, a loopless algorithm is obtained to generate e-words for $k$-ary trees in lexicographic order, which is more efficient in both space and time than the previous algorithm. In addition, e-words can also be easily generated in lexicographic order by a recursive algorithm, and in the order with the Strong Minimal Change Property (SMCP) by a loopless algorithm.
