Those glyphs were not intended to be zqaphas: they represent ⟨’⟩ and ⟨،⟩. I know this because (1) they are not combining glyphs in Carlo Ator, and (2) Carlo Ator doesn’t include any of the other western vowel signs. All the zqaphas I have been able to find in scanned books are curved and hollow, whereas these are angular and filled.

Are you referring to the glyphs associated with ⟨`⟩ and ⟨,⟩ as in http://www.fonts2u.com/carlo-ator.font?ptext=L%2CL`?

Hi,

The original font has two characters that look like commas, which were probably intended as these marks. I have reintroduced those.
In SVN.

U+0733 SYRIAC ZQAPHA ABOVE should look like a nine or a dammah, but in FreeSans it looks like U+0735 SYRIAC ZQAPHA DOTTED. U+0734 SYRIAC ZQAPHA BELOW should be U+0733 rotated 180 degrees.
