Volskygge

My favorite Nordic ruin is Volskygge, not important though. I'm trying to find its dovahzul translation. I know "Vol" means horror but I can't find a modification that works with the "Skygge" part of Volskygge. Can anyone help please?

"Volskygge - home of the dragon priest Volsung. Contains vol "horror." The second half of the name is especially interesting because it resembles a plural noun. However, as far as we've seen in the known canon, the dragon language doesn't use "y" as a vowel. We also know that Volsung is a Nordic name, not a dragon name, so this points to Volskygge being most likely Nordic."

Thus not a Dovahzul word.

Also, no known words begin with sk- or end with -ig or -ug. Thus not a variation of a Dovahzul word.
