Cappelli gives examples of abbreviations like that, with multiple 
meanings: for example, the symbol that looks like "9" can mean "con", 
"com", "cum", "cun", as in:

   9cedo  =  concedo
   9pleui  =  complevi
   cir9  =  circum

Since, for example, "com" or "con" is common at the beginning of Latin 
words but not at the end, and vice versa for "cum", it has the effect of 
meaning different things in different places.
