Matagi suji is a specific suji read that examines tiles near numbered tiles. It can be referred as "straddle suji". For numbers 3-7, they point to numbered tiles -2 or +2 away from them. For 2 and 8, they point to tiles 1-4 and 6-9 respectively.

Players may not be tenpai at that point. Regarding tile efficiency, tiles discarded later may indicate potential tenpai shapes.
