(mahjong) → (Japanese mahjong)

rīchi → riichi
... since "riichi" is the usual spelling in the context of English discussion of mahjong
(although rīchi would be the correct Hepburn for リーチ if we were purely indicating pronunciation)

Delete (orthographic borrowing from Japanese 立直 "rīchi")
... since some sources suggest that 立直 ultimately derives from Chinese mahjong terminology.
Diff:
- 立直 立直 [[li4zhi2]] /(mahjong) rīchi (declaration that one's closed hand is one tile from completion) (orthographic borrowing from Japanese 立直 "rīchi")/
+ 立直 立直 [[li4zhi2]] /(Japanese mahjong) riichi (declaration that one's closed hand is one tile from completion)/
 
- 一發 一发 [[yi1fa1]] /(mahjong) to complete one's hand within a single turn after declaring rīchi (orthographic borrowing from Japanese 一発 "ippatsu")/
+ 一發 一发 [[yi1fa1]] /(Japanese mahjong) to complete one's hand within a single turn after declaring riichi (orthographic borrowing from Japanese 一発 "ippatsu")/
