_______________________________________________

AFAIK never used in a sentence.  If there's a pun, I don't see it.

naHQun once proposed *{bIQpuH} "island" and *{bIQpuH'a'} "continent".

SEE:
yuwey  		continent (n) (qep’a’ 2017) 

(KGT 16):  The Klingon Homeworld Qo'noS, usually rendered Kronos in Federation Standard, is a planet with basically one very large mass of land surrounded by ocean; perhaps continent is a comparable concept.
