When a player has a "233", it is unlikely for them to discard a 3 early - turning "233" -> "23" - since it'd come at a loss of [[tile efficiency]]. So if a 3 is discarded early, it is less likely for them to have "23" (which waits on 1-4) or "34" (which waits on 2-5) remaining. Therefore, an early discarded 3 makes both 1-4 and 2-5 into matagi suji.

The tiles towards the outside (1 & 2 in this example) are known as [[sotogawa]] and are significantly more safe than normal. Tiles towards the inside (4 & 5) are not much safer; the 4 actually becomes more dangerous than normal due to [[ura suji]].

To summarize, when a tile is discarded early:
* Both tiles towards the outside become safer due to [[sotogawa]].
* The adjacent tile towards the inside becomes more dangerous due to [[ura suji]].
* The 2-away tile towards the inside is a bit safer, but not by much. Middle tiles are still very dangerous - whether matagi suji or not.

Note: if the riichi declaration tile was a tsumogiri tile (discarded right after drawing it), then tiles near the last non-tsumogiri tile become dangerous instead.

"Tiles outside of early discards" are relatively safe; about as safe as regular [[suji]] (but a bit less safe).
