## About "devote" in BIP39

- "devote" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"devo"**, already identify it, because **"dev"** also begins [develop](/bip39-word/develop/) and [device](/bip39-word/device/).
- **"devo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins devoir in the [French list](/french/), devoto in the [Italian list](/italian/) and devotado in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "devote" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #18 (word 17 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
