## About "empower" in BIP39

- "empower" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"empo"**, already identify it, because **"emp"** also begins [employ](/bip39-word/employ/) and [empty](/bip39-word/empty/).
- **"empo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins emporter in the [French list](/french/) and empolgar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
