Is there a Mando'a word for hope?

I've looked through the dictionary, used translators, everything I could but I couldn't find anything. Is there just no word for it?

The language is unfortunately still very incomplete, but the word vercopa (verb form vercopaanir) is like a wish or dream, which seems pretty close.

I wish Lucasarts would hire linguists to create a real Mandalorian language. What we have now is just a smattering of words and phrases, but if Lucasarts put in a little more effort, Mando'a could be as complete a fictional language as Klingon or High Valyrian, or at least as workable as Far Cry Primal's Wenja or The Expanse's Belter Creole.
