## About "element" in BIP39

- "element" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"elem"**, already identify it, because **"ele"** also begins [electric](/bip39-word/electric/), [elegant](/bip39-word/elegant/), [elephant](/bip39-word/elephant/) and [elevator](/bip39-word/elevator/).
- **"elem"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins elemento in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
