## About "equal" in BIP39

- "equal" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"equa"**, already identify it, because **"equ"** also begins [equip](/bip39-word/equip/).
- **"equa"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins equatore in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
