'''Naki''' (鳴き) are legal claims on discarded tiles.  This allows players another source of tiles for hand completion, other than the regular wall.  Upon claiming a discard, the player's hand is then considered to be '''open'''.  As a result, the player loses the option to call [[riichi]], and the hand is not eligible for the yaku, [[mentsumo]].  In addition, certain [[yaku]] decreases in value by 1-han, when opened.  In spite of these, the benefits of opening a hand stems on increasing the speed of hand development, convenience, or the irrelevance of losing hand value by opening.  Especially with hands valued of [[scoring|mangan or greater]], opening the hand may be a better option than keeping it closed.
