## About "decrease" in BIP39

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