The whole reason why the letter j came to exist was for creating contrast in "ii" clusters.
That would leave the macron to be explained, which might be instead of the two dots or indicating an ordinal number?

I know it looks like it, but some scribes wrote "g" like that and the letter "y" was almost non-existent at the time. It would be less common to see a y with a macron (or ij or ÿ with a macron).
I posted examples on another thread. I'll try to find them.
Okay, some examples. I didn't search hard for these, I know I have better ones (ones that are closer), but these were the ones I was able to grab quickly. The scribe writes a y-shape and then adds the line and the line is often disconnected from the lower part of the letter:
Especially notice how the tail swings far to the left. When it was ij or ÿ this was not usual, it was usually more vertical. The g tail often swung far left.

Register or Login to view.On f37v, there is an example that is transcribed by many researchers as a defective “y”, since it is preceded by “d”. But, if we look at examples 37v and 114v together, we can assume that there was an attempt to attach the “)” bracket to the lower end of the “c” (at 37v) and to the “i” (at 114v).
