Possibly a long accent in A

Short hairpins in  GE (→FEEE)

The dynamic mark in A resembles a long accent. Yet, taking into account the marking of an analogous phrase two bars earlier, it can be considered diminuendo hairpins, and was interpreted as such in GE (→FEEE). Anyway, the difference between the two interpretations is more academic than practical, both from the graphic and the performance-related point of view.
