## About "audit" in BIP39

- "audit" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"aud"**, already identify it, because **"au"** also begins [auction](/bip39-word/auction/), [august](/bip39-word/august/), [aunt](/bip39-word/aunt/), [author](/bip39-word/author/), [auto](/bip39-word/auto/) and [autumn](/bip39-word/autumn/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"audi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins audible in the [French list](/french/), audio in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and auditor in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
