'''Jihai''' are composed of the honor tiles. Sometimes, they are referred to as "word tiles". Unlike the numbered suits, these tiles cannot be mixed together to form [[mentsu|melds]]. Instead, they must be identical; and thus, they are limited to [[mentsu#koutsu|triplets]]. Furthermore, this class of mahjong tiles is subdivided into two smaller groups: "sangenpai" (dragons) and "kazehai" (winds). | '''Jihai''' {{kana|字牌}} are composed of the honor tiles.
