After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, the Hungarians insisted on the "und" ("and"), not the hyphen, in all usage in line with the new autonomous status of the kingdom within the Habsburg lands. Use of the phrase "Kaiserlich "und" königlich" was decreed in a letter written by the Emperor on October 17, 1889 for the military, the navy and the institutions shared by both parts of the empire. Subsequently, the abbreviation "k.k." only referred to the institutions of the "Austrian" part of Austria-Hungary (Cisleithania). The abbreviation "m.k." (Hungarian: "magyar királyi"), or "kgl. ung." (German: "königlich ungarisch"), both meaning "Royal Hungarian", was applied in reference to the governmental bodies of the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania).
