## About "gesture" in BIP39

- "gesture" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"ges"**, already identify it, because **"ge"** also begins [general](/bip39-word/general/), [genius](/bip39-word/genius/), [genre](/bip39-word/genre/), [gentle](/bip39-word/gentle/) and [genuine](/bip39-word/genuine/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"gest"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins gestuel in the [French list](/french/), gesto in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and gestor in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
