  b. 92

A probable long accent in A

A possible short accent in A

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)

An accent in the L.H. in GE2 (→GE3)

It is not clear what type of accent was used in A; it collides with the indication cresc., which makes it difficult to determine its shape. We consider a long accent to be more probable (cf. signs in the neighbouring bars). Omission of the accent mark in GE1 (→FE→EE) is definitely an error. The accent was put back in GE2 (→GE3), yet  ascribing it to the L.H. chord seems unfortunate.
