 in A1, literal reading

Long accent in A1 (contextual interpretation) & GE

in FE (→EE)

In spite of its significant size, the  mark in A1 is undoubtedly a long accent, which is confirmed by a comparison with GE (based on [A2]) and with the analogous bars. The fact of shifting the mark in FE (→EE) most probably resulted from misinterpretation of its meaning.
