Takame 「高目」 and yasume 「安目」 are specific cases, where tenpai hands are waiting on multiple tiles. This deals with the situation, where one group of waiting tiles may produce a hand of lower value than the other group of waiting tiles. Often, the situation determines whether a hand produces specific yaku or not.

Of course, this condition may be nullified with hands of mangan or greater. This is simply due to the ranges of han required to produce mangan or greater. For example, a haneman hand is worth 6 or 7 han. Well, the need to increase a hand's value from 6 to 7 is irrelevant, as the points awarded is the exact same.

Examples
