Two comments:

1) At first sight, the same question could be asked
about the meaning of the little tail in Q, that
distinguishes it from O 

But that is not a good parallel, since the Latin 
O and Q do not appear in similar positions in 
similar words. But that raises the second comment:

2) the same question about the pair of characters
Eva-ch and Eva-sh could be asked about Eva: t and
k, about o- an qo- (i.e. word-initial), about l
and r.
Each of these can be exchanged for each other
freely, as if a binary decision is to be taken
at each point. 

Cheers, Rene
