What was a "Qua" in a "Subsidy of Armour" in 1590?

Accepted answer
Look at your same document , pg viii(pdf page 18), which defines the abbreviations used. Qua is listed as
the equipment of a man armed with a caliver or harquebus.

It is probably the abbreviation for a "caliver" - a type of arquebus
UPDATE:
I just found an online copy of the Subsidy of Armour, published by the Lincoln Record Society. In it, the items enumerated are listed in a footnote. A "Que". is indeed a caliver in this context.
