Note
A regular form with one spelling quirk: the final r of incur doubles before -ed, as in occurred and recurred. Because incur takes an object, the participle often follows its noun in a passive phrase: costs incurred, losses incurred during the year. What gets incurred is nearly always unwelcome, such as debt, penalties or blame, so it sits awkwardly with gains or rewards.
