You’re right. It is:
(MO to DeSDu’, DIS 2889): For tens of millions, you have a choice. 30,000,000 could be {wejmaH'uy'}, as you suggest, or it could be {wejvatlhbIp}. 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.
Call it a case of copy-and-paste interruptus!

- wejmaHbIp 30 million (DIS 2889)
- wejvatlhbIp 30 million (DIS 2889)
The first "30 million" seems to be a typo for {wejmaH'uy'}.
