Albanian term
kaproll brilopatë
Albanian to English

Zoology
Swedish animal
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:

I don't know how this could be any clearer.
And 'moose' is not necessarily the right word because we don't know the context. If the text that is being back-translated was about Northern America fauna, then 'moose' would be the correct term.
