 The definition of tenpai does not refer to yaku.
-This is a common pitfall for many beginners.  Hands are achieved by tenpai.  However, due to lack of or limited knowledge of the yaku, players may find themselves building a hand to tenpai but are unable to declare a win.  [[Furiten]] may be a case here; but often, this is due to the lack of yaku.

 In this state, it is still possible to produce yaku via [[haitei]], [[houtei]], and even possibly [[rinshan]].  This is particularly true of open hands.  For closed hands, [[mentsumo|tsumo]] may count as an additional option.
