Noun incorporation is the process whereby a noun lexeme is absorbed into the verb complex. The noun is stripped of any inflectional markers and is then inserted immediately after the verb root. The noun is essentially treated as a verbal affix and plays an important morphological role. The incorporated noun is subject to complex morphophonemic sandhi, as described earlier in the [[Minhast#Phonology|Phonology]] section; moreover, a noun may have a reduced or irregular incorporating form, as in the case of ''-rupmak-'' >> ''ruppamak'' (face).

One thing to bear in mind is that not all nouns can be incorporated. Proper nouns and kinship terms, e.g. ''anxea'' (brother) cannot be incorporated. Similarly, toponyms and denonyms cannot be incorporated. Only one lexical noun root can be incorporated at a time. Only nouns functioning in certain case roles, namely Patients, Instrumentals, and Locatives can be incorporated, with Locatives restricted to locomotive and positional verbs. Agents and Subjects, however, cannot be incorporated.
