Explanation:
Właściwie nie da się tego przetłumaczyć, bowiem chodzi tu o układ trzech identycznych "kamieni" obok siebie (to odnosi sie do gry Mah-jong typu domino, gdzie jest czterech graczy, liczy się pkty itd)

Inna wersja Mah-jong to typowy "samotnik" czyli szukanie par "kamieni". W tym wypadku "PUNG" może oznaczać wzór na kamieniu przedstawiający rodzaj bębna z płn-wsch Indii (Manipur)
