@ Aga Tentakulus Yes, that's how it is in modern Bavarian, but in the Middle Ages, Bavarian wasn't as abbreviated as it is today. Back then, ‘auch’ was not written as “o”, but as ‘och’, especially at the end of a sentence. If at all, then in lists as +.
and I don't understand in your reading what the ‘g’ is doing there
I brought this up years ago in this thread, but now I found a nice example of "omega" written as "O". "Alpha & omega" is one of the most frequent elements of charms.

I can't pinpoint exactly where in Bavaria it comes from.
The area is huge. In the Alps, the pronunciation changes every 20 kilometres.
What is certain is that it is Bavarian and not Alemannic.
I take into account not only the language, but also the cultural area. But also Italian, Romance or Latin, in whatever form. And now, of course, the battlements too.

@Koen
We also see this symbol in the VM.
I think the authors ran out of ideas for this rare application and therefore adopted it one-to-one.
