## About "decorate" in BIP39

- "decorate" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"deco"**, already identify it, because **"dec"** also begins [decade](/bip39-word/decade/), [december](/bip39-word/december/), [decide](/bip39-word/decide/), [decline](/bip39-word/decline/) and [decrease](/bip39-word/decrease/).
- **"deco"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins decollo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and decote in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
