## About "broccoli" in BIP39

- "broccoli" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"broc"**, already identify it, because **"bro"** also begins [broken](/bip39-word/broken/), [bronze](/bip39-word/bronze/), [broom](/bip39-word/broom/), [brother](/bip39-word/brother/) and [brown](/bip39-word/brown/).
- **"broc"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins brochure in the [French list](/french/), broca in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), broccolo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and brochura in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
