## About "armor" in BIP39

- "armor" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"armo"**, already identify it, because **"arm"** also begins [arm](/bip39-word/arm/), [armed](/bip39-word/armed/) and [army](/bip39-word/army/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [arm](/bip39-word/arm/). Write "armor" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"armo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins armoire in the [French list](/french/), armonía in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and armonia in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
