## About "carry" in BIP39

- "carry" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"carr"**, already identify it, because **"car"** also begins [car](/bip39-word/car/), [carbon](/bip39-word/carbon/), [card](/bip39-word/card/), [cargo](/bip39-word/cargo/), [carpet](/bip39-word/carpet/) and [cart](/bip39-word/cart/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [car](/bip39-word/car/). Write "carry" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"carr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins carreau in the [French list](/french/), carro in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), carretto in the [Italian list](/italian/) and carreira in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
