On a sideline: if I remember correctly, German is rather special because not only 'qu' is bound nearly 100 percent of the times, but 'ch' is bound too.
Yeah, I don't think “qo” has anything to do with ‘qu’ either, but it shows what the writer “knew.”
And there are several features that are reminiscent of the German language:
“ch” is indeed a bound letter in German. If you look at “sh,” the curve of the first letter could form a sort of “s,” so that it could stand for “sch,” which is the soft form of “ch” and is also a bound glyph sequence in German.
Also striking is “aiin”—“ain” is a distinctly German word, derived from “ein,” and “ain” gave rise to the English “a.”
“dain” = “dein” = “your” is also a real German word.
That’s why it looks as though the writer knew the German language, but that’s just an assumption, too.
