Mark,
You might consider getting a WEIN HSHSB adaptor to plug into the hot
shoe on the camera.
It protects the camera from high voltage, and also has a PC type
socket, so you can also safely use the flash off-camera.
About $50 at Adorama

That makes sense but it is backwards for some unknown reason. The HV
is the updated version with the low trigger voltage ?????

The HV is a "High Voltage" and generally should NOT be used on
