For effort as exertion (what I think you want):
camtoi
	c1 effortfully tries to do t2 by method t3, as perceived by c3.

tolsurla
	s1 expends effort/is actively/effortfully involved in doing/being s2 (activity)

For effort as attempt:
zukte
	x1 is a volitional entity employing means/taking action x2 for purpose/goal x3/to end x3.
