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.
Pronunciation
Noun
栄 • (ron)
- (mahjong) Short for 栄和 (ronhō): a win by picking up an opponent's discarded tile
