Update

"-agem" is added to a verb in Portuguese to make the verb a noun.  Essentially, it could be translated to something like "the act of doing something (the verb of choice)". 

For example, in english, we recycle glass bottles and aluminum cans.   The act of it we call recycling.  The "-ing" tacked on to the verb recycle makes it 'the act of recycling' or 'recycling'.  An example... recycling is good for the environment.

So, what are some "-agem" words in the capoeira context?
