-In the case of [[sangenpai]] (dragon tiles), any player may collect a set of either tile and attain the yaku for that tile.
+Yakuhai are dependent among the different honor tiles.  In the case of [[sangenpai]] (dragon tiles), any player may collect a set of either tile and attain the yaku for that tile.  With regards to [[kazehai]] (wind tiles), yakuhai counts for the players in relation to their current [[jikaze|wind seating]] and the current wind round.
-With regards to [[kazehai]] (wind tiles), there are two yaku: one for forming a set of the seat winds, and one for a set of the round winds.
+Players are assigned a particular "wind seat", relative to the dealer position, who is always seated East.  For the seat wind yaku, players must collect their own set of wind tiles.  For this, it is necessary for players to be aware of the current wind seating.  This can easily be noted by paying attention to the dealer position.
-Players are assigned a particular "[[jikaze|wind seat]]", relative to the dealer position, who is always seated East.  For the seat wind yaku, players must collect their own set of wind tiles.
+Furthermore, the game has an assigned round wind.  Typically, the round wind is denoted by either East or South.  Occasionally, the game moves into [[Shaakyoku|West round]] as well, where the West wind counts as the round wind.  Marked by the dealer indicator, the round wind is the same for all players; and it only changes after all players had a chance to sit as East for at least one hand.  Collecting a set of this wind satisfies the round wind yaku.  Essentially, the round wind functions like the dragon tiles, where any player may collect them and have them counted for yakuhai.
-Furthermore, the game has an assigned round wind.  Marked by the dealer indicator, the round wind is the same for all players.  Collecting a set of this wind satisfies the round wind yaku. The first round is East, followed by South.  Occasionally, the game moves into West round as well, where the West wind counts as the round wind.
+If a wind is neither seat nor round wind, it is considered an ''off wind'' or ''guest wind''. A set of such a wind is not counted towards yakuhai.  Open calls for such wind tiles often forces players to resort to other yaku for completion.
-If a wind is neither seat nor round wind, it is considered an ''off wind'' or ''guest wind''. A set of such a wind is not worth any yaku.
+Finally, four yakuman utilizes the honor tile groups.  All three groups of sangenpai creates [[daisangen]].  The wind tiles can be used for either [[shousuushi]] or [[daisuushii]].  An assorted groups of honor tiles form [[tsuuiisou]].
-Collecting all three sangenpai sets or all four wind sets leads to the yakuman [[daisangen]] or [[daisuushii]].
