<upd_detl>We should avoid confusing the concepts of melds and yaku. Many yaku refer to specific combinations of melds within a player's hand, but many have nothing to do with the player's hand at all.

With the "Nagashi Mangan" yaku described above, a player only needs to go an entire round without discarding simple number tiles (two through eight) in order to win with the yaku, for example.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>European Mahjong Association, Riichi Competition Rules (RCR)
(PDF) http://mahjong-europe.org/portal/images/docs/Riichi-rules-2016-EN.pdf

Page 9:
"A complete mahjong hand is composed of four sets and a pair. A set may be either a chow, a pung or a kong. In addition, a complete hand must have at least one yaku (scoring pattern)."
"Two special hands exist in riichi which are not composed of four sets and a pair: Seven Pairs and Thirteen Orphans."

Page 23:
"Nagashi Mangan"
"After an exhaustive draw, a player can claim this special hand if he has a concealed hand, has discarded only terminal and honour tiles and none of his discards has been claimed. The player does not have to be tenpai."</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I'm uncomfortable with this edit as I feel it's rather too focused on the specific situation with mahjong, where a chow (which I regard as a type of meld) is not a "win condition". Unless we were to create a mahjong-specific sense, I'd rather the sense was left the way it was, with "meld" still there as a gloss. After all the term is used in other games too.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I agree with Jim - in hanafuda and mekuri karuta, "win condition" does not work at all as a translation. Thanks for sharing your expertise on mahjong through so many entries though, Stephen! (not to mention the great work you're doing on Yomichan)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful feedback. I agree now that the entry is probably fine as-is, as long as we take care to avoid using "meld" and "yaku" interchangeably on senses that are mahjong-specific (unlike this one).</upd_detl>
