That's a very strange lead. Am I supposed to draw some inference or just forget about it?

RHO seems to have a lot of major cards. So...♠K. diamonds from the top (safety-play against doubleton queen in either defender's hand). If LHo has a trump trick, then he may have to lead a black card... If RHO has, for example...
♠ QJxx ♥ AKQJxxx ♦ Q ♣ Q or
♠ QJx ♥ AKQJxxx ♦ Q ♣ Qx
then you lose 1♥ 1♦ and 2♣
Dont you think West would have led his singleton suit, which was opened and rebid by partner ?

IMO, too early to reply to one poster's thought if you really want some answers. This does not mean I disagree with your question.
