A word I can't find translation to

While playing skyrim I've noticed that, after using bend will on them, enslaved Dov refer to me as "Thuri". Puzzled, I've looked around different sources and discovered that they also refer to Alduin as thuri in one of those coversations when he raises them from the dead. I'm thinking the word means "lord" or "master". It should be translated correctly and added into the dictionary.

Your guess is very close!  "Thuri" is the word "Thur", "overlord", with the possessive suffix "-i", which means "my".  So, "thuri" translates literally to "my overlord".
