Is There a "Greeting" Word in Draconic?

Is there a word in Draconic that has the same function as "Hello" in English?

Although that's technically true, it doesn't have to be the only greeting. In fact, it's used primarily by in-lore dragons for "I come in peace and will cease all hostility". Literal meaning is "peace fire sky". 

For humans, I would consider -also- using "grind" (meeting) in various ways to communicate that. Pruzah grind (good meeting, "well met"). Paaz grind (fair meeting). (Really any "good" word before "grind" can work). Also you can use IRL language construction of "good day/morning/time of day/evening/night/etc." because most will understand you: Pruzah sul/vu/suvulaan/vulon (Good day/morning/evening/night).
