## About "garbage" in BIP39

- "garbage" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"garb"**, already identify it, because **"gar"** also begins [garage](/bip39-word/garage/), [garden](/bip39-word/garden/), [garlic](/bip39-word/garlic/) and [garment](/bip39-word/garment/).
- **"garb"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins garbo in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
