There are many many "q" abbreviations (words starting with q appended by an abbreviation symbol) in languages that use Latin abbreviations. The Latin language has so many short "q" words that stand alone or at the beginnings of other words (or which stand alone but are sometimes written attached to the next word in some documents).
quia, quo, que, quis, quibus, qui, quodam, etc. There were slightly different abbreviations for each one, but I've noticed some scribes were a bit indiscriminate in which ones they chose and some of them used the same abbreviation for several different "q" words. quam and quod are sometimes abbreviated like the example in the clip.
I've written some blogs on 4o. Here are the two that are most relevant:

Was the 4o glyph in the Diplomatic Ciphers unique? or was it a common Latin convention: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
