How to translate? (en-ru)

Dragon is but a hatchling - но дракон только что вылупившийся

почему порядок слов таков, а не "but the dragon is a hatchling" - так как-то легче воспринимается

    The dragon is but a hatchling.

    Edited

    Этот дракон всего лишь птенец - только что из яйца вылупился.

    Translator's comment

    Здесь 'but' имеет значение наречия лишь, только, просто.

    He is but a child. Он всего лишь ребёнок.

That's the name of one of the dictionaries that Lingvo refers to - just check the link.
Without this comment "3." would be ambiguous as there are TWO entries in Lingvo with such number.

ETA: now I see a similar entry in the first dictionary - I.1.
I didn't notice it at first glance.

The dragon is but a hatchling, only able to fly short distances and carry light loads. It is roughly the size of a cat.
