imperative + -jaj

Is there any sense that is made of using an imperative prefix + -jaj suffix?
example: ?yItaHjaj
TKD doesn't seem to exclude it.
If it makes any difference, the context in which this usage occurred to me
was playing around with translating "live long and prosper". I know from
the KLI wiki that there are two canon translations, but this a phrase in
which tlhIngan Hol seems to allow a variety of ways to express the idea
with differing 'shades'. bItaH 'ej bIchep, bItaHjaj 'ej bIchepjaj, yItaH
'ej yIchep, etc., so I decided to play around with it a little.
