10.
My dog chomped his food down.
→ “Chomped” is the sound/action of chewing loudly. It’s often considered onomatopoeic because it mimics the sound of biting/chewing.

*(Note: Some might argue “chomp” is more clearly onomatopoeic than “chomped,” but since the sentence uses “chomped,” that’s the correct word to write.)*
