Dunqu'! jISeyqu'!

I imagine this can be extrapolated to the other planets, and that our local star is called {Sol} in Klingon.

Either is fine, and the choice would probably be determined by what other (big) numbers were being mentioned in the same context.  If no other numbers are around, flip a coin."

This is very useful indeed. What about {wejSaDnetlh}? Does the smaller number suffix always go first? e.g. is {wej'uy'maH} wrong? Is it possible to use the same number suffix twice, e.g. {wejnetlhnetlh} for 300,000,000? Or {wejSaghanSaghan} for 3,000,000,000,000,000,000? Is it wrong to combine number suffixes to express a unit that already has a dedicated number suffix? e.g. {wejmaHSaD} instead of {wejnetlh}?
