EVA words chal and kiin
I read the word chal (48) as kai and I think it could transcribe the Greek words γᾶι or καὶ:

• γᾶι, fem sg dat dor /pl of γῆ – earth; earth, as an element; land, country; the earth or ground as tilled;
  
• καὶ – and; also Adv., even, also, just.
  

The single word kiin can be νῦν or μῦν:

• νῦν – now, both of the present moment, and of the present time generally; of the immediate past, just now, but now; of the future, presently;
  
• μῦν, acc of μῦς – mouse or rat; jerboa; a shell-fish, mussel; a large kind of whale; muscle of the body; gag.
  

The two words on f113r.23, chal.kiin, can be καὶ νῦν – and now, even now.
Unless it’s καὶ μῦν – and the mouse (mussel, muscle)?

Moreover, in examining the word ἀνόνητος in LSJ, I paid attention, better late than never, to the example from Sophocles « …περισσὰ κἀνόνητα σώματα … » (S.Aj.758). In this quotation, καὶ and ἀνόνητα are merged into κἀνόνητα.
If chal means καὶ, then EVA words beginning with cha-, che-, cho-, and chy- can also result from crasis and therefore need to be re-examined.
