Realizing this issue is closed I thought I would still add this as a note of interest for possible future reference. The scribe here  ran out of line space and rather than start a new  line with the Ethiopic wordspace opted to right the symbol just below the last letter on the line.  Initially I thought it was a Rikrik but it is definitely a wordspace.  The scribe seems to have done this fairly often.  It helps demonstrate how "unbreakable" the wordspace was perceived to be:
