## About "follow" in BIP39

- "follow" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"foll"**, already identify it, because **"fol"** also begins [fold](/bip39-word/fold/).
- **"foll"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins folleto in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
