## About "artefact" in BIP39

- "artefact" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"arte"**, already identify it, because **"art"** also begins [art](/bip39-word/art/), [artist](/bip39-word/artist/) and [artwork](/bip39-word/artwork/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [art](/bip39-word/art/). Write "artefact" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"arte"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins arte in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), artefice in the [Italian list](/italian/) and arterial in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
