## About "arrest" in BIP39

- "arrest" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"arre"**, already identify it, because **"arr"** also begins [arrange](/bip39-word/arrange/), [arrive](/bip39-word/arrive/) and [arrow](/bip39-word/arrow/).
- **"arre"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins arreglo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), arredato in the [Italian list](/italian/) and arrebate in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
