What's interesting about EVA-r and EVA-s is these are common Latin abbreviations and, in Latin, they can stand alone (as a single glyph). In the VMS, they can also stand alone.
They are shaped the same and often positioned the same.
In Latin, the EVA-r shape can stand for r-something abbreviation but can also stand for i-something abbreviation. Which one it is is known by context. In the VMS, IF the tail is an abbreviation, there's not enough context to know if it is i-something, r-something (or something else). In other words, it's possible that EVA-r could represent two different sound values or abbreviations, as it does in Latin, or it could simply be a shape by itself that means anything (a number? a symbol?).
But here's something that is not clear. Is EVA-r a stem with a top-tail and then the v shape with a tail a stem with a bottom-tail? What I mean is, are the bottom and top tails deliberate position shifts? If so, the dynamic of foot-tails and top-tails we see in EVA-sh might apply to other glyphs, as well.
