## About "barrel" in BIP39

- "barrel" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"barr"**, already identify it, because **"bar"** also begins [bar](/bip39-word/bar/), [barely](/bip39-word/barely/) and [bargain](/bip39-word/bargain/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [bar](/bip39-word/bar/). Write "barrel" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"barr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins barrage in the [French list](/french/), barro in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and barraca in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
