I have re-read both texts several time, but I still don't understand
why are ekphonetic neumes of "Symbol, Other" [So] category, while
hebrew "accents" are "Mark, Nonspacing" [Mn] even if both are used
exactly the same way.

Please, note that the ekphonetic neumes are NOT "musical symbols" like
the western are, they are bound to the text and CANNOT occur without
the text...
