## About "allow" in BIP39

- "allow" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"allo"**, already identify it, because **"all"** also begins [all](/bip39-word/all/) and [alley](/bip39-word/alley/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [all](/bip39-word/all/). Write "allow" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"allo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins allouer in the [French list](/french/) and allodola in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
