'''Kuitan''' {{kana|喰い断}} | '''Kuitan''' {{kana|喰い断}} (lit. "devouring tanyao") means '''open tanyao''', which may or may not be allowed in various [[Rule_variations#Kuitan|rule variations]]. If kuitan is disallowed, then the rule variation would be called "kuitan nashi" ("no open tanyao"), and tanyao would be restricted as a closed only yaku. If kuitan is allowed, it would be called "kuitan ari" ("open tanyao allowed"). | ||
