vaj is not "then" in the sense of -sequence-. It is the "thus, in that
case". It is an adverbial, not a conjunction.
If he means that "speaking" IS the key that allows you to enter, then vaj
could work.
But unless there is a comma (or equivalent) after jup, jup is in the wrong
place. If he's calling out "friend" to get his attention, then he can put
it first.
jup, yIjatlh - Friend, speak.
yIjatlh jup - Speak friend.

Yes. And the list is updated whenever MO gives us new words.
