q as waw?
#4
My idea of Voynichese "4" is that it behaves like Latin -que, but only on the other end of the word. It behaves like a standalone unit that is added to the beginning of words only when words interact in a sentence. There are other explanations, but this is probably the simplest one.

Perhaps, if the aim of the script is brevity, it would make sense to adopt some form of this Arab glyph instead of "and", especially if the scribes were used to writing in several scripts (which is very likely either way). 

So I like this proposal a lot.
