Thanks for all replies.
I'd use phrasing slur, however there's not much phrase to indicate with it...
Look at the slurs marked in red in the attachment - a phrasing slur for 2 notes?
In the first case Werner's guess may be correct (a slur would prohibit
singers from taking a breath inside word "erit"), but the last case is
still quite mysterious to me.

thanks,
Janek
