I didn't know incense (I always thought it was that thing that makes nice smell in the temples), accretion, crypto-fascist (really?!?!?!) and cursory.
Thank you so much, duuuuuude. Currently in Kampot enjoying the river and the wind.
Cheers!

That aromatic material is IN-cense, a noun, with the emphasis on the First syllable. This one here is in-CENSE, a verb, with the emphasis on the second syllable.
And we rarely use it as a basic verb. We more often use the past participle, as an adjective. As in, "After she burned his books, stole his money, and left with Bob's best friend, Bob was INCENSED!!!
Currently in southern Thailand, enjoying the waves and the sea breeze. And a few beers ...
As for "crypto-fascist," yes, that's a not uncommon term. My friend used to tell me that he considered the US magazine TIME a crypto-fascist rag.
He may have been correct / accurate.
