@thomasadam@bsd.network In this context, I think you can either consider “even” as an interjection (most likely), or as an adverb. I believe either would be acceptable to any grammarian, linguist, or philologist.

@robert I am sure if I looked I might (even) find otherwise.
But academically, were I to check over the past ten to fifteen years, I bet I wouldn't (even) find the phrase in any University papers.
Not that I'm (even) suggesting such phrases are limited to that.
