I took the liberty of trying this out in Géarthnuns (Yippee! It
works! Thanks Tom and Josh!).

Phew! It seems there's a comparable number of words in the Jelbazech,
English, and Géarthnuns texts, but the Géarthnuns is longer
line-wise. I guess it's the length of unwieldy monsters like
"gnöibatgefrölkalokhalötöich". Actually I find that relatively easy
to pronounce since it's kind of a compressed mini-sentence, "being
unable to be read". By the way, Dan, Jelbazech words like "pfötz" and
"pfechetz" make my Géarthnuns heart go pitter-pat. :)
