Minhast relies on NI, often in combination with nominalization, to derive nouns from verbs. Compounding is also used to derive new vocabulary; often this compounding derives from Type I noun incorporation, or a noun phrase that was originally a ''min'' construction, but due to frequent use the ''min'' connective was eroded and additional morphophonetic changes derived a new noun. Combinations of Type I noun incorporation and nominalization also occur. A few examples of the derivational processes that Minhast employs are illustrated as follows: | Minhast relies on NI, often in combination with nominalization, to derive nouns from verbs.
