I have been trying to think about eva-m a lot recently and I realised that almost all of the instances of this letter within Herbal A is on the one singulion which is f3/f6 (as per Lisa's analysis).
I'm not sure if this helps us figure out what this glyph actually is but it almost looks the scribe was testing it out or had some other reason to use it over and over again specifically here.
Also of interest is that it is used non line-final in multiple places in these pages.
For those who don't believe that 'm' is an line-final positional glyph (i.e. it doesn't encode for any information) or those who don't believe it to be an abbreviation for 'iin' what other theories are out there (that don't just say that it is meaningless)?
