## About "debate" in BIP39

- "debate" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"deba"**, already identify it, because **"deb"** also begins [debris](/bip39-word/debris/).
- **"deba"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins debater in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and debata in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
