I think that doesn't have any meaning and normal ql or vi should be used for
those; we need a clear way to distinguish neumes ending in an episema
(ql-, vi-, etc.) from those that do not have one, but whether it looks at
the end as a stright line, or straight line with slightly wider bottom part
of the end, or stright line slightly inflexed, or slightly inflexed with
wider bottom part is what I've been considered just unimportant detail,
some neumes in the font have it one way, other neumes other way, depending
from which exact manuscript the neume has been taken, what writer wrote it
etc.
Or are you aware of this having some semiological meaning? I admit I
haven't read too many books yet, mainly just Gregorian Semiology and
The Introduction to the Interpretation of Gregorian Chant, don't remember
anything that would say those are semiologically important details.
That said, there are various neumes still missing even when it has meaning,
e.g. salicus with a tractulus instead of punctum, I should add those at some
point.
