As far as I can tell it swallows up the preceding го.
It seems to be preceded by other jocular glyphs among scribes. A regular o received a central dot when writing the word "eye": ꙩ
Words containing "two" or "both" had an o replaced by two conjoined os: ꚙ
It is only natural to carry on the in-joke for the dual and plural "eyes" like this: ꙭ
Our scribe simply got a little excited, following the pattern to it's logical end point in the term "many-eyed"
