    The hungry sow kept oinking until the farmer arrived with the bucket.

    Oinking from the barn woke the whole household at dawn.

    Note

    Because the verb behind it takes no object, the form stands on its own: a sow is simply oinking, never oinking something. It follows a form of be (the pigs were oinking) or works as a noun (the oinking kept us awake). Imitation counts as well, so a child copying the barnyard can be oinking just as truly as the pig.
