The first glyph of every line – a hint at a cipher?

[dashstofsk]

Do you have any idea what this might be?

I am still of the opinion that things like this are evidence for the manuscript being a fabricated hoax. The manuscript was not written in one go. Each section was written separately with gaps of time between them. The gaps of time were sufficient for the writer to loose some fluency in the method of fabrication so that at the commencement of each new section the writer has to relearn or perhaps refine the method to make the task of writing the longer text sections ( quires 13, 20 ) easier or perhaps just wanted to do things differently. Knowing that no-one would ever understand the text the writer could change or adapt as he wished. He was under no obligation to make the text consistent.
