-If a riichi declarer does not win at first opportunity, he will be permanently [[Furiten|furiten]].  All tiles discarded after the riichi declaration, as indicated by the discarded sideways tile, are considered to be guaranteed [[genbutsu|safe tiles]].
+During riichi, a player may be furiten.  In this case, the riichi is considered to be a '''furiten riichi'''.  Likewise, after calling riichi, a player may decline the option to call on a winning tile, whether it be by self-draw or [[ron|by discard]].  However, if a win is declined, then the riichi declared hand is subject to furiten for the remainder of the hand.  Thus, all tiles discarded after the riichi declaration, as indicated by the discarded sideways tile, are considered to be guaranteed [[genbutsu|safe tiles]].  While it is advised to declare a win on the first opportunity, some plays may require a player not to do so under very specific circumstances.  Of course, such play requires caution.
