DEF.ANIM=girl PST-run-3SG around tree and PST-hit_kick DEF.INAN=ball
The girl ran around the tree and hit the ball.

7 or 9 words, 18 syllables, 13 morphemes; agglutinating

girl TOP tree round fast go PST 3SG.FEM TOP ball foot hit PST 3SG.FEM
The girl ran around the tree and hit the ball.

11 words*, 15 symbols, 15 syllables, 15 morphemes; isolating

*This is a dubious guess. Except for 矮女, there is no clear polysyllabic word (although it can be broken down to "small woman"). I counted 团驰去 (to run around, literally "round fast go") and 足岩 (to kick, literally "foot hit") as well.

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

1-girl 1-PST-go.around-Ø 3-tree 1-SIT-run-Ø 1-SUBS-strike-Ø 3-ball

The girl ran around the tree and kicked the ball.
(Literally: "The girl circled the tree, running, and then kicked the ball.")

18 morphemes but because the noun-prefixes are an essential part of the word for the meaning, they are often not counted as separate like this. Also, the -a endings on native Bantu verbs could be thought of as a meaningless affix or as a part of the stem that gets replaced by other morphemes in some situations.
Glossing Abbreviations: COMP = comparative, C = complementiser, ACS / ICS = accessible / inaccessible, GDV = gerundive, SPEC / NSPC = specific / non-specific, AG = agent, E = entity (person, animal, thing)

Well, five years to the day seems like a decent time span for "eventually".
