To enforce furiten, the [[discard pile]] is specifically arranged in front of players and [[Naki|tile calls]] have one tile turned to indicate who discarded the tile. The discard arrangements allow players to keep track of who discarded which tiles. During a hand, players should take note of their status in relation to furiten and avoid calling winning hands while in furiten. Likewise, any calls for winning hands should have the discards checked for furiten. Any game involving software already checks for furiten, alerts players, and denies winning calls. | To enforce furiten, the [[discard pile]] is specifically arranged in front of players and [[Naki|tile calls]] have one tile turned to indicate who discarded the tile.

Furiten is translated as '''sacred discard''' in Chinese. In consequence, English terminology had made this the equivalent. However, this translation bears no relation to the Japanese term. | Furiten is translated as '''sacred discard''' in Chinese. In consequence, English terminology had made this the equivalent.
