Diacritical variants of "i" and "e"
#5
It's even worse....

Eva-y looks like a c with a tail. (Attached to the top and going down).
So does Eva-s (top and going up) and Eva-b (bottom and going up).

However, the fourth possibility does not exist: attached to the bottom and going down
Why?

Instead, we have attached to the top, going up a bit and then going down (Eva-g).
Why?

W.r.t. diacritics, these are usually not connected to the letter. They can have several functions:
- indicate stress
- indicate length
- make it a different letter
- distinguish it from a similarly spelled word (usually with a historically different sound)
- possibly others that I am not aware of

I know Rafal's list was not meant to be complete, and I find this one interesting:
