## About "bronze" in BIP39

- "bronze" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"bron"**, already identify it, because **"bro"** also begins [broccoli](/bip39-word/broccoli/), [broken](/bip39-word/broken/), [broom](/bip39-word/broom/), [brother](/bip39-word/brother/) and [brown](/bip39-word/brown/).
- **"bron"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins bronzer in the [French list](/french/), bronce in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), bronzina in the [Italian list](/italian/), bronzear in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and bronz in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
