Zoology / Swedish animal
Albanian term or phrase: kaproll brilopatë
I am backtranslating a translation from Swedish to Albanian for a customer who wants to check the translation. The Swedish word for "elk" appears ("älg"). Is there an Albanian word for this animal? I am not sure that kaproll brilopatë is good (nor "dreri brilopatë", found in a Swedish-Albanian dictionary). Kaprolli is a smaller animal, the elk is The King of the Forest. Picture here:
