| Refs: | A google search shows some usages of "many-sided wait" among English-speaking mahjong players. I think this is the most natural translation. Compare: リャンメン待ち "double-sided wait" I also often see these referred to as "complex waits." https://riichi.wiki/Complex_waits Daina Chiba also uses "complex waits" in his book (page 80): https://dainachiba.github.io/RiichiBooks/ This is the same thing as 多面張: https://mj-dragon.com/wait/index-basic.html 多面待ちは、麻雀用語で「多面張（タメンチャン）」とも言います。 実用日本語表現辞典 has an entry: https://www.weblio.jp/content/多面待ち Google N-gram Corpus Counts 1,170 100.0% 多面待ち 0 0.0% タメン待ち 0 0.0% タメンまち 0 0.0% タメンマチ 0 0.0% ためんまち |
