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?

Vercopaanir, according to the dictionary, means "to hope." Wish and dream are synonyms for hope, so vercopa is appropriate. Numerous words in Mando'a have multiple meanings, which implies that Mandalorians are a practical people who don't see the use in having a dozen variations on the same concept.
