## About "engine" in BIP39

- "engine" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"engi"**, already identify it, because **"eng"** also begins [engage](/bip39-word/engage/).
- **"engi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins engin in the [French list](/french/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
