copad	desire	can also mean 'ambition' May actually be copaad? Based on copaanir (to want) and ori'copaad (obsession). But there's only one 'a' in the dictionary entry, so that's what I'm using.

Dral'Han	the Mandalorian Excision	The Mando'a name for the Legends!canon Republic attack on Mandalorian planets, which resulted in bombardment that turned large swaths of land into barren deserts means 'annihilation'
dral'hane	annihilations	I wanted a word with some oomph to it that the Mandalorians of the Cuy'val Dar might use to mean the Kaminoans' decommissioning of clones, especially the babies, and figured that something that was used to refer to planetary bombardments would suit, given they use the name of a scientist who experimented on children as their word for war criminals and monsters
dush'kara	bad luck, unfortunate	literally, bad stars
Elek 'lek	Yes
Evaar Mando'ade	New Mandalorians	We have a canon Mando'a name for Death Watch and a fanon Mando'a name for the True Mandalorians; I figured there had to be a point when their (or other) faction used a Mando'a phrase for themselves. Evaar means new or young

hal'cabure	breastplate	this one is technically two pieces, so it's sort of naturally plural, the way the English word 'pants' is words for armour pieces come from The Bounty Hunter's Code, a Legends era reference book; an image of the diagram in the book can be found here on tumblr
Hut'ade	Coward Mandalorians	used for those Mandalorians who follow Satine Kryze, as an insult

Jet'tsad	Jedi Order	I originally used Jetii'tsadfor this, but realised it almost made more sense without the -ii suffix. (I almost kept the -ii, but I actually like way the word sounds without a bridging vowel.)

kar'taylir darasuum	eternal love	literally 'know in [my/your] heart forever'

riduur riduure	spouse spouses
riduurok	marriage vow
sen'laare	whistling birds	from 'senaar' (bird) and 'laar' (song; there's no word for whistle); presumably could also be used as 'birdsong', since Mandalorians strike me as the sort to name devastating weapons after something simple, like birds singing
shig	Mandalorian tea	an infusion of whatever's available, but usually a mildly stimulant herb with a citrus flavor called behot
sol'karta	aromantic/asexual	from feelinkeeli's tumblr post about Mando'a words for alternative romantic identities (they specified romantic, and I agree that Mando culture seems to place little to no attention to physical attraction, but that doesn't mean people don't feel physical attraction, that just means they don't really have words for it in their language, so I'm using the terms for both physical and romantic identities, at least for this fic)

Uur, uur, kotep kih'nau	Hush, hush, brave little light	kih'nau has its own entry, if you want to know more the Mando'a dictionary gives 'k'uur' as hush, but the 'k' at the start makes it a command (which really makes me think more it's a call for quiet; ne'johaa is shut up). Since Jaster is trying to be soothing, here, I dropped the 'k', which I feel makes it sound soothing in a similar way to telling someone to 'hush'
ven'cabur	codpiece	words for armour pieces come from The Bounty Hunter's Code, a Legends era reference book; an image of the diagram in the book can be found here on tumblr hilariously, according to the text in the book, the corresponding piece, covering the butt, is called the 'hut'uun cabur', or 'coward's protector', which is so ridiculously Mandalorian (Jango doesn't have one; can't tell for Jaster, since there's only one semi-clear shot of his backside in the comic, & his beskar'gam is the same colour as his kute; Boba and Din both have one, though)
ven'riduur	future spouse
verd'goten	traditional Mandalorian rite of passage from childhood to adulthood	literally 'warrior birth'
verd verde	soldier, warrior soldiers, warriors
verd'ika	little soldier, private	Vhonte started out using the term mockingly in my headcanon (potentially because Obi-Wan obviously didn't like it; easy way to torture the jedi), but it was very much affectionate by the time Obi-Wan left Mandalore

Vor'e	Thank you	short for 'vor entye' (I accept a debt)
