I've already completed the quest where you receive the Dawnstar sword, but I didn't notice the word wall until later. When I went back to get the shout, the wall does not give it up. The usual music plays and there are wisps flowing out of the word, but nothing happens. Is this a known bug?

Thanks!

Never heard of this one. Are you sure the blue wisps are coming out?

Yes, they may be white though. I checked online and I don't have any of the shouts from this set.

I've read somewhere that you automatically get shouts in the correct order, but I don't think this is the case. I've went to a wall last week and it appeared that I had absorbed the word. But come to find out it was the third word in the series, and I only had the first word, so I didn't absorb the shout and wasn't able to unlock anything. Yet another glitch in an already exceptionally glitchy game.
