WANT ('desire') is probably a semantic prime/primitive. "Hope" can be explicated in terms of WANT and HAPPEN and GOOD THING. Wierzbicka provides explications of various emotion words in her books on NSM.

It isn't apparent to me. If you desire something, don't you hope it will be true? The difference makes more sense in between pacna and djica, but why do we need two attitudinals?
If there is a difference, is there an example where you might say ".a'o .aunai broda" (or something similar)?
