Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs 3 notes each in GE1 (→FEEE)

One slur in GE2

The slurs of A are unclear in the 2nd group of semiquavers: when interpreted literally, the first embraces the first two notes while the second the last three. A comparison with adjacent, analogically structured figures unambiguously shows that it is the second slur that starts inaccurately (too late). In GE1 (→FEEE) a less likely interpretation was adopted, in which each slur embraces three notes. In GE2 two slurs were replaced with one (cf. the 1st note in this bar).
