conj. but, on the contrary

Nuz aan sul, fent alok, fod fin vul dovah nok, fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!
But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies, will be silenced forever and then!
(Book, Songs of Skyrim)

Viik nuz ni kron.
Defeat but not victory.
(Paarthurnax, 0003FA46)

Het nok Yngnavar Gaaf-Kodaav, wo drey Yah moro nau Frod do Krosis, nuz sinon siiv dinok ahrk dukaan.
Here lies Yngnavar Ghost-Bear, who did Seek glory on the Battlefield of Sorrows, but instead found death and dishonor.
(Word Wall for Yah, Aura Whisper)

Used as a conjunction only to indicate the contrary; not used as in ‘there is but one king’ or ‘no one knew but me’.
