## About "below" in BIP39

- "below" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"belo"**, already identify it, because **"bel"** also begins [believe](/bip39-word/believe/) and [belt](/bip39-word/belt/).
- **"belo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins belote in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
