In a seed phrase it stands for the 11-bit value `00100010010`, decimal index 274\. /kɑː/ · _noun:_ a road vehicle with four wheels and an engine for a few passengers [Russian](/ru/ "The BIP39 wordlist with Russian translations"): автомобиль ## Binary Representation Three 1-bits and eight 0-bits; 165 of the 2048 indexes have exactly three 1-bits.
