Unfortunately there are going to be a lot of English words that cannot translate into the dragon language. The official lexicon only has around 650 words that do not focus on the essential vocabulary we know and love.

I remember not too long ago a question like this being asked about a possible translation for "moon". The best someone came up with was vulon krein (night sun) if I remember correctly.

I would also offer that the moon in the Elder Scrolls universe has certain names. In Skyrim you might hear Masser and Secunda or Lorkhan, etc. 

EDIT: I will admit, however,  that those names only apply in the Elder Scrolls Universe.
