: Klingon word:   pung
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition:     mercy

As used in canon:

  pung ghap HoS 
  Mercy or power. [sic!] TKW

"It is noteworthy that the conjuction in the Klingon phrase is {ghap}
(either/or), not {joq} (and/or). This implies that one must choose 
between mercy and power; they are incompatible. (TKW p.119)
