evamu

evam ind. ( fr. pronom. base e, BRD. ; probably connected with 1. eva), thus, in this way, in such a manner, such, (it is not found in the oldest hymns of the Veda , where its place is taken by 1. eva, but occurs in later hymns and in the Brāhmaṇa s, especially in connection with √ vid, ‘to know’, and its derivatives [ e.g. yaevaṃveda, he who knows so; cf. evaṃvid, col. 3]; in classical Sanskṛt evam occurs very frequently, especially in connection with the roots vac, ‘to speak’, and śru, ‘to hear’, and refers to what precedes as well as to what follows [ e.g. evamuktvā, having so said ; evam evE tat , this is so; evamastu or evambhavatu, be it so, I assent; astyevam, it is so; yadyevam, if this be so; kimevam, how so? what is the meaning of it? what does this refer to? mE vam , not so! evam — yathā or yathā — evam, so — as], Mn. ; Śak. &c.

(it is also often used like an adjective [ e.g. evaṃtevacanerataḥ, rejoicing in such words of thine; where evam = evaṃvidhe]), MBh. ; Śak. &c.

according to lexicographers evam may imply likeness (so)
