Never used in canon.

For a sense of what Klingon might mean by {Sun}:

   Kahless is the Klingon who brought discipline, order, and honor
   to the Klingons. (KCD)

   Traditional Klingon music ... whether composition or performance,
   is considered a discipline not unlike a martial art.  (KGT 72)

Related nouns include {bIj} "punishment" and {jIp} "penalty".  We can use 
the synonyms {bIj} and {Hup} "punish" for the verb "discipline".

Note the idiom {Duj ngaDHa'} for a "person who is wildly irresponsible, out 
of control, undisciplined" (KGT 150).
