I did some quick Googling, but could find no mention of Okrand's involvement. For more info on the series, see:

(with links to pages for each novel)

It certainly sounds like a pun -- but of what? A brand of vitamins, such as "One-A-Day" multivitamins here in the U.S.?
(BTW, Doneq once suggested that {loS} was itself a pun: "wait fo(u)r".

You're right, it does sound like Okrand. FYI Glen Proechel used the more prosaic *{loDjan} for "male organ" in his "The Warrior Tongue at Warp Speed".
