*watches the scene again*
I'm almost sure she said "Vitani!".
It's just me or Moira Kelly sounds different in SP? I've seen other movies with her and her normal speaking voice is the one she uses in TLK. (btw, she's a very good singer too). I think they tried to make Nala sound older, wiser and motherly (Matthew Broderick has a boyish voice and sounds the same) and she gave a forced lower voice at some parts of the movie. Why the change? My mother still sounds the same as she did when she was 20 years old. Same thing with my father.
Because of that change in Nala's voice, here they got a different actress to play Nala, one with a deeper voice. The first Nala was available for the part at the time but she couldn't fake her voice to sound older. She later played Nala again in TLK 1 1/2.
