It is notable that the first ever occurrence of qo (and q) - that is in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. line 7 - is accompanied by the horizontal superscored line - like that designating an abbreviation in medieval plain texts. Maybe, this betrays a real abbreviation, and qo is an abbreviation?
There are a couple of other places where this happens (the Latin line for abbreviation).
I've been careful to pay attention to anything in the text that is a "slip" (an unconscious mistake) because I figured no one could create a document that long (even if it were two scribes rather than one) without some of their normal writing habits coming through.
So... you see it in the line over the 4o, you see it in the superscripted 9 that appears at the end of a line, and you see it in the letter "p" that shows up one of the pages (I'm pretty sure it is "p" and I'm pretty sure it is a slip that the scribe either didn't notice or decided not to correct or left for correction later and forgot).
