   • 1908, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables‎^[1], page 213:

     […] they all crowded into the big pung sleigh, among straw and furry robes.

Borrowed from Cantonese 碰 (pung³).

pung (plural pungs)

1. (mahjong) A set of three identical tiles.

   Synonyms: triplet, three-of-a-kind

2. (mahjong) A call for forming such a set using a discarded tile.

   Synonym: pon

While pung is the traditional English term, among English-speaking players of the Japanese variant of mahjong it is more common to use the Japanese-derived term pon, but typically only to refer to a call to claim a tile. The set of tiles itself is usually called a triplet instead. This follows more closely how the terms are used in East Asian languages.
