## About "appear" in BIP39

- "appear" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"appe"**, already identify it, because **"app"** also begins [apple](/bip39-word/apple/) and [approve](/bip39-word/approve/).
- **"appe"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins appeler in the [French list](/french/) and appetito in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
