-For mangan and beyond, a point cap is applied, such that fu is not necessary.  It can still be counted; but for scoring purposes, it is not counted due to the cap on the basic points calculation.  For example, a 5 han 40 fu hand is valued the same as a 5 han 80 fu hand.
+For mangan and beyond, a point cap is applied, such that counting fu may not be necessary.  Fu is still be counted; but for scoring purposes, it is not necessary to count fu, due to the cap on the basic points calculation.  Mangan begins with hands valued at 3 han and 70 fu, 4 han and 40 fu, or 5 han.  For each, if the fu count is greater, they are retained at mangan.
 So, this section of the scoring table easy to remember.  For easier memorization, these higher values possess specific names, namely: haneman, baiman, sanbaiman, and yakuman.  Likewise, they are worth factors more than mangan.
