I love this word. It means exactly what it should mean: to enclose in a cabin; to confine. Winters in Vermont would occasionally render us incabinated. I remember one year, the snow was so high, we asked my mother if we could jump out the second story window into the snowbank. She said yes, but only if the dog jumped first.
Damn that lily-livered dog.

No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.
