"Water" is the non-canon "Lom".

"Rain" is two canon words used together, "Lokluv" which means "sky tear". So while not in the canon dictionary, it is a valid word.

As to why this words are not part of Dovahzul, there are two answers:

  1. The writers never needed the words, and never bothered with what they didn't need directly for the game.
  2. In-game we only hear the Dragons speaking some Dovahzul and see it on walls, but this language has much more than what is shown, but the Dovahkiin didn't see it, therefore we don't.

Not canon ones, no.
