## About "ginger" in BIP39

- "ginger" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"gin"**, already identify it, because **"gi"** also begins [giant](/bip39-word/giant/), [gift](/bip39-word/gift/), [giggle](/bip39-word/giggle/), [giraffe](/bip39-word/giraffe/), [girl](/bip39-word/girl/) and [give](/bip39-word/give/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"ging"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins gingado in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
