Separate slurs in A (→FE→EE)

Continuous slur in FC (→GE)

The continuous phrase mark of FC (→GE) resulted from an erroneous interpretation of A. Due to reduced ink flow, the endings of phrase marks in A are often very poorly visible, which could have misled the copyist – not seeing them, he assumed that the visible fragments of the phrase marks were supposed to form one phrase mark.
