It's quite possible that "a" is e + i. But whether it is a ligature or purely a morphological choice, I've been trying to figure out for a long itme.

I also wonder if EVA-d is e + l (I posted an example on another thread a couple of months back). It is sometimes written with a straight stem.

Those are good examples you posted.

One looks like e + r while the other looks like a with a tail but whether they are the same or different... hmmmmm.
