That's an interesting question, and the real issue here is surprisingly EVA-h.

Using EVA-s both as standalone and as part of sh ligature is not extremely convenient, but normal parser can live with that: s before h - ligature, otherwise - standalone.

The question is how h is defined. If it is "ending symbol of a ligature" then the system works perfectly. Assuming that sh is "synonym" for Sh (just as we usually write ckh instead of more strict cKh) we get the required one-to-one correspondence between forms and notations. However defining h simply as "e with dash" or something like that we implicitly allow it to be standalone. And facing combination <EVA-s, then "e with dash"> we immediately get ambiguous notation.
