Since the Norwegian word he used is from ball and not balle it doesn't have the same pitch accent as Swedish ballen (which, for comparison, doesn't have the same pitch accent as Swedish bollen), so they can't really be mixed upp in speech anyway.

Also, don't forget that balle means buttocks in Scania.

Let's also not forget that nobody actually says ballen in Sweden because it's the dorkiest word ever!*

* Unfortunately, lots of people in certain places do. :_:

Seven words, seven syllables, eleven morae.

Insular Kett: (slightly agglutinative)

Six or seven words, twelve syllables.

Continental Kett: (slightly agglutinative)
Hénm lýň co mrííč pánci mýst.
[hénm ly̋n dzô mɾǐi̋tʃ pǎndzî mýst]
girl<TOP> tree=around PST-run-ACT ball PST\kick-ACT
Five or six words, eight syllables.

I'm kind of surprised that these are all so concise. Part of it might be that none of my langs have definite articles (although I'm considering adding some to Cherun), but I would've expected at least Insular Kett to be longer. Arve normally looks pretty long, but it doesn't allow more than one unstressed syllable in a row, so it'll occasionally drop syllables altogether. And it'll get longer once I add more particles, since it likes forcing everything into trochees.

The girl ran around the tree and kicked the ball.
