This is the same as if you'd written this makefile:
e12:
@echo "echo tttt
@echo ppp"
As the manual describes make treats multi-line variable values in
recipes as if they were individual logical lines, so each line is
invoked in a separate shell. The first line has a missing end-quote
just as the shell said.
As a special case leading operators like "@" and "-" are applied to each
line, not just the first line.

This is the same as if you'd written this makefile:
e12:
@echo ""echo tttt
@echo pppp""
HTH.
