I believe it's 754(1) that grants them meaning, since those words have no ordinary-language meaning. I'd say they represent either a difference in spelling or dialect, depending on your view of whether a language variation with a tiny number of adherents that isn't geographically constrained really constitutes a "dialect" or not. And, I suppose, your view of whether "e" could really be considered a "different spelling" of something like "he, she, or it".
