## About "gaze" in BIP39

- "gaze" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"gaz"**, already identify it, because **"ga"** also begins 16 other words, among them [gadget](/bip39-word/gadget/), [gain](/bip39-word/gain/), [galaxy](/bip39-word/galaxy/) and [gallery](/bip39-word/gallery/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"gaze"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins gazelle in the [French list](/french/), gazebo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and gazela in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
