Maybe this distinction represents a "tell" of which value [ch] has in each case. There may be other examples, but I feel it's outside the scope of this thread. I'm very intrigued to consider what remnants of distinction can be found by the interaction between glyphs.

Hi Emma May Smith, I would be very interested to hear you expand a bit more on this topic.

Is this lack of phonemic distinction a bit like this ( Random, hopefully pertinent, example from wikipedia ):

"The earliest [Czech] texts were written in primitive orthography, which used the letters of the Latin alphabet without any diacritics,
 resulting in ambiguities, such as in the letter c representing the k /k/, c /ts/ and č /tʃ/ phonemes."
