和了

Wikipedia ^ja

Invented for Japanese mahjong by Rin Mokō 林茂光 from such a call from some regions of China, after he found that the usual call in Mandarin 和 (hú) was problematic for Japanese speakers. He adopted the character 栄 as ateji, but later discovered that the original character for this sound was 攏 (lǒng). Nevertheless, the character 栄 remained and was accepted as standard.

• IPA^(key): [ɾõ̞ɴ]

Noun

栄(ロン) • (ron) 

1. (mahjong) Short for 栄和 (ronhō): a win by picking up an opponent's discarded tile
2. (mahjong) a call for such a win
