Yes, but the Dov were the original users of the Thu'um, and the Dov were created by Akatosh. Kyne may have sent Paarthurnax to teach the Voice to joore, but the practice of Shouting was originally only done by Dov. So Akatosh originally created the ability to Shout in the dragons, and it's quite possible that the dragons created a Shout purely to honor him. Don't forget Kyne's Peace, a Shout dedicated to Kyne. (Krosis for my extensive use of the dragon language, but I've been listening to the song and learning the language for a while now and I'm beginning to think in it.)
