Yes, _nusikalbe:ti_ is a (non-recommended by school teachers) synonym
for _nusis^neke:ti_, but the flavour of both words is more "kind"
than that of 'to talk nonsense', I guess.

Thank you for the clarification. I realized that vestjysk stød is a
dialectal phenomenon, but I didn't know it differs from the standard
one ontologically.
I know that you also disagree with Kortland on the possible origin of
Balto-Slavic acute: he states PIE long grade without a help from
laryngeals and mediae can result in a circumflex only and you state
it can (and should) yield an acute. But are there any non-commonplace
points in Kortlandt's _Slavic Accentuation_
(
http://www.kortlandt.nl/publications/sa/) and _From Proto-Indo-
European to Slavic_ (
http://www.kortlandt.nl/publications/art66e.pdf)
you do agree with?
