===Noun incorporation===

One of the features of Mohawk called ''noun incorporation'' allows a verb to absorb a noun into it. When incorporation happens, an epenthetic ''a'' can appear between the noun root and the verb root.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> For example:

{{interlinear |number=18)
|Owiraʼa wahrakeʼ ne oʼwahru
|Baby      ate        the  meat
|}}

With noun incorporation:

{{interlinear |number=19)
|Owiraʼa wah'''a'''ʼwahrakeʼ
|Baby     meat-ate
|}}

{{interlinear |number=20)
|top= Waʼeksohareʼ
|waʼe -ks -ohareʼ
|{} dish wash
|"She dish-washed"}}

{{interlinear |number=21)
|top= Waʼkenakt'''a'''hninuʼ
|waʼke -nakt -a -hninuʼ
|{} bed increment buy
|"I bed-bought"}}

{{interlinear |number=22)
|top= Wahanaʼtar'''a'''kwetareʼ
|waha -naʼtar -a -kwetareʼ
|{} bread increment -cut
|"He bread-cut"}}

Most of these examples take the epenthetic vowel ''a''; it can be omitted if the incorporated noun does not give rise a complex consonant cluster in the middle of the word.
