Two untranslatable Dovah names

I'm currently playing through the quests to get Auri-El's bow in the dawn guard dlc when I encountered two dragons that emerge from the icy lake in the Vale, named Naaslaarum and Voslaarum. When I tried to figure out the meaning of their names it couldn't find a translation, I even tried breaking up the words into chunks and trying to translate them but to no avail, all I could find was that "Vo" means to undo, the rest of the names were untranslatable "Naa" and "Slaarum" came up with no translation, I even broke up "Slaarum" and typed it letter-by-letter, forward and backward, nothing... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Who knows? I doubt even bethesda knows anymore, its been almost 6-8 years since the game came out.

There is a whole load of examples like this, another one is Numinex.

Its entirely possible that they never had names.

i agree with vuldovyol. bethesda may not even know anymore. maybe they had a good idea for other names for them, or maybe the names mean something in other languages. they did that a few times in elder scrolls 5 oblivion.
