Breakdown of the verb form:

ᏓᏆᏚᎵᎭ - d-agw-aduli-ha - I want them.

d- - this prefix "Ꮥ- de-" is a plural object prefix, "them". When the next prefix after it begins with a vowel, the "e" of "de-"is dropped, thus: "de + agw-" become "dagw-".

agw- - "I", this is a "B" Class bound pronoun, used before a vowel stem.

-aduli- - present verb stem for "want"

-ha - present tense suffix. In casual conversation the "ha" is often dropped, thus "ᏓᏆᏚᎵ dagwaduli".
