## About "border" in BIP39

- "border" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"bord"**, already identify it, because **"bor"** also begins [boring](/bip39-word/boring/) and [borrow](/bip39-word/borrow/).
- **"bord"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins bordure in the [French list](/french/), borde in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), bordo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and borda in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
