Yaku: Difference between revisions

'''Nomi''' {{kana|ノミ}} is the state of the hand which contains only one yaku.  In general, this term can be appended to any of the yaku names as a suffix.  For example, '''riichi nomi''' {{kana|リーチノミ}} meaning "riichi only".  Winning hands in this state are [[scoring|cheap low value hands]] worth only 1 or 2 [[han]].  Though, the term used for higher valued yaku, such as [[ryanpeikou]] or [[chinitsu]], are acceptable; but it's not generally used.  When [[dora]] is included in the hand, then the term is not applicable.  As for yakuman, the term nomi is not appended, due to the high scoring value.
