## About "curve" in BIP39

- "curve" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"curv"**, already identify it, because **"cur"** also begins [curious](/bip39-word/curious/), [current](/bip39-word/current/) and [curtain](/bip39-word/curtain/).
- **"curv"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins curva in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and curvo in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
