Patrick:

There are two types of gyoji calling during sumo match.

"nokotta" or "nokotta nokotta": 
        used when rikishi are in action
        "keep trying, still in the match"
        noko-ru means to stay in 

"hakki yoi (hakke yoi)" or "yoi hakki yoi" or "hakki yoi yoi":
        used when rikishi are still
        "try harder, more actively"
        hakki = hatsu + ki, yoi = you
        hatsu means to generate
        ki means (mental) energy
        you means to raise
