Need translation for surprise/surprised

Hi there. I just started trying to learn the Dragon language and need help making a translation for the word "surprised" or "surprise". As in "I am surprised to see you here" or "I wanted to surprise you"

Are there any words that dragons use to express surprise, awe shock, or disbelief?

Now this is a tricky one! The Legacy word for "surprise" is eldraag, but Legacy is no longer in use on this site. 

Maybe you could say "not know" instead? Zu'u ni mindok ho lost het ("I didn't know you were here") could work. Or Zu'u ni laan hi mindok ("I didn't want you to know") for the second example. There aren't canon words for any synonyms of "surprise" that I can find.
