## About "elegant" in BIP39

- "elegant" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"eleg"**, already identify it, because **"ele"** also begins [electric](/bip39-word/electric/), [element](/bip39-word/element/), [elephant](/bip39-word/elephant/) and [elevator](/bip39-word/elevator/).
- **"eleg"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins elegir in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), elegante in the [Italian list](/italian/) and eleger in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "elegant" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #23 (word 12 of 18). 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.
