Apart from claiming a discard to form a quad, a quad may also be formed by adding the fourth tile from the hand to the open triplet, or by taking out four identical tiles form the hand. | Apart from claiming a discard to form a quad, a quad may also be formed by adding the fourth tile from the hand to the open triplet, or by taking out four identical tiles form the hand. | ||

'''Pei nuki''' {{kana|北抜き}} or simply '''pei''' {{kana|北}} is the call for a North [[nukidora]] in [[sanma|three-player mahjong]]. It is commonly called '''kita''' in English-localized mahjong platforms.<ref name="kita">In platforms like [[Mahjong Soul]] and [[Riichi City]], the button and on-screen announcement for this call in the Japanese interface says pei nuki {{kana|北抜き}} (lit. "taking out a North"), and the Japanese character voices will usually call "pei" (or sometimes "pei nuki" or "[[nukidora]]"), while the English interface says kita.<br/>Kita is the regular Japanese word for north, whereas pei is the Japanese name of the North tile in mahjong, borrowed from Mandarin Chinese. Both are written as 北 in Japanese, so it is possible that "kita" originates from an error of the Mahjong Soul localisation team.</ref> | |||

[[Yakuman]] hands, assuming they can be won open, don't reduce in value after a call. Since they are so hard to complete, opening is often necessary to actually win with one. | [[Yakuman]] hands, assuming they can be won open, don't reduce in value after a call.
