Look at the duplets (these are my readings and have not been checked yet):
Leading q:
qo 5305
qe 56
qk 31
qc 21
q' 8
qa 8
qy 7
qs 3
q_ 3 <i.e. word end>
qp 2
qd 2
qt 2
qf 1
qh 1
ql 1
q<weirdo> 1
q* 4 (i.e. unreadable)

Tailing q:
_q 5423 <i.e. word initial>
oq 18
yq 9
lq 2
rq 1
tq 1
sq 1
hq 1

The great majority are <qo> and there are 42 instances of <qo> as a word.
If one considers <qo> a single character, how does one code the other 
instances of <q>-something. Should one use a different symbol?

There are *many* of such anomalies with other characters. I am compiling a 
list of what I think are, at the moment, "unanswerable" questions which do 
not depend on the alphabet/script one uses. I will post it when ready.
Cheers,

Gabriel
