## About "catalog" in BIP39

- "catalog" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"cata"**, already identify it, because **"cat"** also begins [cat](/bip39-word/cat/), [catch](/bip39-word/catch/), [category](/bip39-word/category/) and [cattle](/bip39-word/cattle/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [cat](/bip39-word/cat/). Write "catalog" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"cata"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins catasta in the [Italian list](/italian/) and catarata in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
