Right, so similarly to Danish, for example, words for the corresponding 
note and
rest is:

128th rest: hundratjugoåttondelspaus
128th note: hundratjugoåttondelsnot
256th rest: tvåhundrafemtiosjättedelspaus
256th note: tvåhundrafemtiosjättedelsnot

For the question about playing in a different octave, the verb is
"oktavera" in Swedish. I'm not sure how I would express myself
if I wanted a music typesetter to use a "ottava bracket" in the notation.
