No arpeggio sign in FCI

Arpeggio for 3 notes in A (→FC,FE→EE) 

2-note arpeggio in GE

The shorter arpeggio wavy line in GE is a mistake, although it is difficult to say whether it is a mere inaccuracy or a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the notation of FC.
The missing arpeggio sign in FCI – see b. 18 and 32-33.
