I was able to get the note names for English (both flavors), French,
Spanish, Italian and German elsewhere.  That's why I only asked for the
names in Dutch, Danish, Finnish and Swedish only.

If you follow the pattern, a 128th-note would be a semihemidemisemiquaver
(though I have heard it called a quasihemidemisemiquaver) and a 256-note
would be a demisemihemidemisemiquaver.

But thanks for answering anyway.  (Alard already answered for Dutch, so
maybe I need to make a more pointed request to the known Danish, Finnish,
and Swedish speakers on the list).

Thanks!
Kurt
