## About "couple" in BIP39

- "couple" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"coup"**, already identify it, because **"cou"** also begins [couch](/bip39-word/couch/), [country](/bip39-word/country/), [course](/bip39-word/course/) and [cousin](/bip39-word/cousin/).
- **"coup"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins coupure in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
