Kopraak - no translation

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Drain_Vitality?utm_source=wikia&utm_campaign=recirc&utm_medium=incontent&utm_content=2

It's a word on a word wall for Drain Vitality shout. Thu'um.org translator returns no result for input "kopraak".

Good catch! The word there is actually supposed to be kopraan, which means 'corpse, body, remains' and is attested elsewhere. For details, click here.

Kogaan is a canon expression of gratitude. Some people still use the outdated nox.

The Dictionary contains only official Bethesda language, the so-called canon. It is also very detailed and contains pronunciations, sources, and etymologies.

The Legacy Dictionary contains canon plus 5,000 old fanmade words. They are not understood outside thuum.org. Many are based on a now obsolete understanding of the language. For example, the suffix -gaar has turned out unnecessary now that parts of speech are known better.

Ah thanks. Didn't know kopraan was implied as a CORPSE - memrise just says 'body'. Also, is there any canon way to say 'thank you'? If not, any non-canon way?

Kogaan. What is the 'legacy' dictionary, by the way? How is it different from the 'regular' dictionary?
