γŒγ‚‹ is a helper godan verb. It tells us that something is indicated as being the case.1

Example: Yui is showing signs of wanting cake

γ‚†γ„γŒγ‚±γƒΌγ‚­γ‚’γ»γ—γŒγ‚‹

Info

In this example, ゆい (Yui) is the core of the sentence marked with が.

γ‚±γƒΌγ‚­ is marked with γ‚’, making it the object.

The adjective of desire ほしい has the い removed and replaced with γŒγ‚‹, making it into a verb meaning β€œto show signs of desire”.
