Generally about "weird" characters. q is famously absent on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and mostly absent on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. but elsewhere is ubiquitous. The first occurrence of q on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (the first in the MS in the present order of folios) looks a bit like an accident that started with writing p or t and then abandoning it half way through.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (you can use this one to criticize my superpareidolia if you wish)
One possible explanation for this is that the author was experimenting with different ways of writing and was free to invent new ways of writing if needed. Whether these experiments were directly on the vellum or in the original draft and just got copied over is probably not important. I'm not sure there are other convincing explanations for why q is only introduced on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and why its introduction has this weird macron sign and looks like some unfinished job.
If this explanation is correct, and the author was adjusting the script on the go, then it's certainly possible that all kinds of weird and unusual characters were invented ad hoc to accommodate for some unusual words, characters or letter combinations (or phonemes) in the text.
