 & long accent in A, literal reading

in GE

Short accent & 2  in FE

Long accent & 2  in EE

3 long accents suggested by the editors

As in bar 110, 112 and 114, the  marks written in A, the first two of which are longer than typical long accents, are to be uniformly interpreted as long accents. This is supported by the A notation in analogous bars 116-118, in which the marks are clearly long accents. The versions of the editions resulted from the overlapping of interpretation inaccuracies and the attempts to assign the marks to one of the two categories – short accent or diminuendo hairpin.
