<div dir="ltr">Actually the vowel matches exactly in Mandarin: Pinyin &quot;kong&quot; is pronounced with the same [u] sound as Klingon &quot;qung&quot;, so besides the tone, just the onset consonant is slightly different. Tone aside, we have [kʰuŋ] vs. [qʰuŋ]. That&#39;s as good as it gets. :)<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;m not sure, but I thought that {qung} is chinese for &quot;hole&quot;.<br>
&gt; Can anyone corfirm that?<br>
<br>
</div>There&#39;s &quot;kǒng&quot;, though the vowel doesn&#39;t exactly match, but it may be<br>
close enough.<br>

<br>
(Click on the arrow next to &quot;kǒng&quot;, there will be a speaker icon and<br>
you can hear it spoken and judge for yourself how close it is to<br>
{qung}.)<br>
