I suspect there may well be many more (and not just EVA -m words).

Agreed, this does not look like it can be a coincidence, well found! A more systematic investigation of such words might prove useful.

So in this case, the idea would be that a word like [chdy] is a shortened form for something else. It can't be [chedy] because that's also a B-feature. Chod would be a better candidate indeed.
