Use of Zu'u

I have been studying the way the Dragons speak Dovahzul in - game, And i noticed when Alduin says "Zu'u Alduin!" Hes saying I am Alduin, but shouldent it be Zu'u los Alduin? Probably an easy question to answer... Is it just dialect? Or is it certain usage within a sentence?

The dragon language likes to cut out words and leave things to context. In your example, los gets cut, so Alduin is effectively saying "I'm Alduin!" The lack of los helps puts extra emphasis on Alduin. Another example would be "zu'u hin daan," "I (am) your doom."
