Based on the unusual {vatlh DIS poH} "century" listed in the KGT glossary,
"millennium" would probably be just {SaD DIS poH}, not {wa'SaD} as you
might expect. Go figure! Okrand used {vatlh DIS poH} twice with
*cardinal* numbers - as well as spelling {DISpoH} as one word - in SkyBox
card S15 to refer to the 23rd and 24th centuries:
qItI'nga Duj tera' vatlh DISpoH cha'maH wej HochHom lo'lu'taH
the K'Tinga-class remained in use for most of the 23rd century
tera' vatlh DISpoH cha'maH loS bong QongmeH qItI'nga Duj tI'ang
ghompu' DIvI' 'ejDo' 'entepray'
A sleeper ship of this [K'Tinga] class, the T'Ong, was encountered
in the 24th century by the USS Enterprise.
So, our third millenium would be {tera' SaD DIS poH wej} "Earth's
millennium three":
wejvatlh javmaH loS leS paw tera' SaD DIS poH wej.
Just trying to pin down some of the fine points of Klingon dates...
