Jerzy, until you get a fuller answer, I thought I should say what I have learned.
It seems that all dots were later added to the text, punctuation and otherwise. The ones at the end seem to be end of sentence and comma type stops in the text. I have noticed this as I have been going through the Khabouris line by line.
Also, these larger dots at the end of some of the words, and at the end of the sentences, are in the same place in other Manuscripts, both older and younger than the Khabouris, such as the Houghton 1199 syc 4 "Ashael Grant" MSS and the Schoyen MSS 2080, so, they seem to all come from an original source, and became standard in the copies.
Shlama,
Chuck
