Review Comments
Also present in various editions of 《陝西通志》
黑文婷 argues that ⿰土窊 is a variant of 坬/窊[1]. The earliest known evidence of ⿰土窊 dates back to late Ming while the form 窊 can be found in Five Dynasties text. The form 坬 is commonly used in Qing text.
According to the evidences of 𱷆, 𱷆 is used in Jiangxi province, bordered by Guangdong province where ⿰土窊 is used according to Evidence 1. Based on this and the semantic relationship between ⿰土窊 and 坬, I think ⿰土窊 could be a variant of 𱷆. If 𱷆 is also pronounced as wa, then ⿰土窊 is potentially unifiable to 𱷆.

(This evidence is provided by my friend Yang Lu.)
The submitted evidence shows this character used in 广东省罗定县屋地~, currently, this place is under 广东省云浮市罗定市榃滨镇, and this is a Chinese Yue-dialect speaking town, but it borders a big Chinese Hakka-dialect speaking town 泗纶镇. It is very hard for us to confirm if this geographical name is named after any Hakka word only by the materials.
U+31DC6 𱷆 is used in current 江西省九江市瑞昌市, and the submitted evidence of U+31DC6 𱷆 didn’t give the pronunciation or meaning. 瑞昌市 is a Chinese Hakka-dialect speaking area. My friend Yang Lu helps me check the places related to U+31DC6 𱷆 in other books. 《江西省瑞昌县地名志》 shows 𱷆里陈 is written as 凹内陈, 大𱷆陇 is written as 大凹垄.

If there is no additional evidence, it looks U+31DC6 𱷆 is related to 凹, 洼, 坬 and so on.
BTW, GDM-00287 is a very common character just only based on the submitted evidence and #11362. If GDM-00287 is unified with U+31DC6 𱷆, I strongly request China for consideration to do the horizontal extension as soon as possible.
If U+31DC6 𱷆 is also related to 凹, 洼, 坬, it will support that 𱷆 is a variant of ⿰土窊 as in 黑文婷's paper, 凹/洼/坬/窊/⿰土窊 are all related.
