Long accent in A & EE3 (→EE4)

Short accent in FE (→GE)

No mark in EE2

The accent visible in A should be, according to us, interpreted as a long one. The mark of FE is ambiguous, which we interpret in favour of a common short accent. This is how it was interpreted in GE. In turn, EE gives a long accent (except for EE2 which is devoid of the mark).
