No, Okrand hasn't addressed this.

maghoS, He yInab/.  Is

/nImbuS wej majaH, He yInab/?

Actually, the line in Star Trek V, */nImbuS wej maghoS; He yInab/ is in
error.  The prefix on /ghoS/ is wrong.  It should be:

nImbuS wej wIghoS; He yInab!
We go to Nimbus III; plan a course!
(Set course for Nimbus III!)

With the information we now have, we know it could also be:

nImbuS wejDaq wIghoS; He yInab!

If you used /jaH/, it could be

nImbuS wej wIjaH; He yInab!
or
nImbuS wejDaq wIjaH; He yInab!
