## About "gentle" in BIP39

- "gentle" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"gent"**, already identify it, because **"gen"** also begins [general](/bip39-word/general/), [genius](/bip39-word/genius/), [genre](/bip39-word/genre/) and [genuine](/bip39-word/genuine/).
- **"gent"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins gentil in the [French list](/french/) and gente in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
