-'''Karaten''' {{kana|カラテン}}, or '''empty tenpai''', is a [[tenpai]] hand that cannot win because all possible winning tiles are unavailable.  The "visible tiles" may either be discarded, used as a dora indicator, and/or already exist in one's hand. In addition the tiles may be held in other players' hands or in the dead wall, but these would be unknown to the player.
+'''Karaten''' {{kana|カラテン}}, or '''empty tenpai''', is a [[tenpai]] hand that cannot win because all possible winning tiles are visibly unavailable. These include tiles discarded, used as a dora indicator, in an opponent's [[naki|tile call]], and/or already exist in one's hand. While a tile may be unavailable if it is in an opponent's hand or in the [[dead wall]], those are not counted for karaten.
 Karaten hands are generally considered tenpai for the purpose of [[ryuukyoku]], except if all four copies of the winning tile are in the player's own hand.
