## About "benefit" in BIP39

- "benefit" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"bene"**, already identify it, because **"ben"** also begins [bench](/bip39-word/bench/).
- **"bene"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins benevole in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
