## About "affair" in BIP39

- "affair" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"affa"**, already identify it, because **"aff"** also begins [afford](/bip39-word/afford/).
- **"affa"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins affaire in the [French list](/french/) and affabile in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
