It is the case that it is very common to have diplomatic cipher symbols which are made up of a number connected to a letter on its right like "o" or "p" (greek letter rho). It seems to me that this kind of symbol is not very common with the more standard alphabets we find with different natural languages which superficially have some similarities like the Glagolitic; that is why this identification of the "4" is important as it has implications for the source of the Voynich script, which obviously has implications for the source of the Voynich manuscript.
It is very common in languages that use Latin characters for a number to have an "o" shape connected to the right-hand side. Most of the time it means it is an ordinal number or an abbreviation (e.g., quarto, tertio femto)
