Long accent in A

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

According to us, the accent written in A is to be interpreted as long. The sign in FE, despite that it recreates the notation of A quite accurately, due to the more constricted notation, is rather a short accent and this is how it was understood in GE and EE.
