Long accents in FE (→GE1GE2)

Short accents in EE & GE3

Both the length of the majority of the accents and their placement, not over the note, but slightly after it (cf. a typical short accent, e.g. in bar 284), indicate the use of long accents by Chopin. However, in EE and GE3, it is difficult to consider the marks to be long in spite of the fact that their asymmetrical placement was preserved.
