## About "cross" in BIP39

- "cross" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"cros"**, already identify it, because **"cro"** also begins [crop](/bip39-word/crop/), [crouch](/bip39-word/crouch/) and [crowd](/bip39-word/crowd/).
- **"cros"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins crostata in the [Italian list](/italian/) and crosta in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
