## About "deputy" in BIP39

- "deputy" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"depu"**, already identify it, because **"dep"** also begins [depart](/bip39-word/depart/), [depend](/bip39-word/depend/), [deposit](/bip39-word/deposit/) and [depth](/bip39-word/depth/).
- **"depu"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins depurar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
