## About "august" in BIP39

- "august" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"aug"**, already identify it, because **"au"** also begins [auction](/bip39-word/auction/), [audit](/bip39-word/audit/), [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.
- **"augu"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins augurer in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
