Two sukoons appear together in a word. The first sukoon is a .i.4, which appears before the last letter of the word. The second sukoon is ~.J~ ( ~IJ .J#.) i.e. it wasn't a sukoon originally but became one because the reader stopped/paused. Since two sukoons can not appear together, this j"Q is formed.
