What is the difference?
Hi!
Going off the romaji and in a broad sense, nakusu (either 無くす or 亡くす) would be ‘to lose’ whilst nokosu (either 残す or 遺す) would be ‘to leave’.
NOTE: All these verbs are 他動詞, meaning that they act on something.
You can find more details about the nuances and particular uses of each verb if you click on the hyperlinks.
HTH!
