## About "absorb" in BIP39

- "absorb" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"abso"**, already identify it, because **"abs"** also begins [absent](/bip39-word/absent/), [abstract](/bip39-word/abstract/) and [absurd](/bip39-word/absurd/).
- **"abso"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins absolu in the [French list](/french/) and absoluto in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
