On track 9 of Conversational Klingon Marc Okrand says:
noon or 1200 hours
cha'maH wa'vatlh rep
Is it me or does that really mean 2100 hours?

I think it's 2000 hours.

cha'maH -- twenty
wa'vatlh -- one hundred

We can add that to the list of Klingon typos...

Yep, it's an error. The Klingon should have been wa'maH cha'vatlh rep 1200 hours. There are a few such "canonical errors" in the various official sources, including The Klingon Dictionary.

This is quite a long list of errors.  Strangely enough, it doesn't include the error that you just found.

It does not contain the typo's in the Skybox cards either.
For instance S8 with the title:
Bat'telh
Klingon Sword of Honor

In the Klingon text it is called: batleH
And elsewhere it is known as: betleH
