Interesting, I forgot about those!

However, since those are the only two occurrences of  y-macron in the book, it is unlikely that they stand for digit "5" or letter "g".  I would guess that they are ad-hoc abbreviations for some word that starts with y.  Like we could write "V." for "Voynichese" in a post, without even defining it.

All the best, --jorge
