As a quick follow-on, if you look for EVA lk in Herbal A pages, of the six instances only one is on the end of a line (f90r1), which is - ballpark - pretty much what you'd expect to see if there were no correlation between it and line-terminality. And similarly for EVA lt (eight Herbal A instances, none of which are line-terminal).
Also: Herbal A EVA ed appears line-terminal on f11r, f32r, f51r, f65v, f93r, i.e. five instances out of sixteen. This is significant, but not as noticeable as the chd/shd stats (21 span-terminal instances out of 36 total instances, where you would expect something closer to 6 or 7 if the two were uncorrelated).
All of which makes me think EVA chd in Herbal A may well be a very specific contraction. And given that EVA chod is much more common in Herbal A than EVA ched (a mere three instances), I specifically wonder whether we are seeing EVA chod being contracted into EVA chd at line endings because of lack of space.
