[[Ryanmenten]] is the most common form of the three-sided wait.  This involves two ryanmen, connected by one mutual waiting tile in the middle.  The wait always points to one of the full [[suji]] patterns.

This pattern is a powerful wait due to the large number of waiting tiles: 11 maximum possible, using any of 3-tile types.  That number cannot be 12, due to one waiting tile (the middle number) already present in the hand.  The waiting pattern is limited, however, to one of the three numbered suits.  With [[suji]], the waiting pattern involves one of the three mahjong intervals.
