## About "giraffe" in BIP39

- "giraffe" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"gira"**, already identify it, because **"gir"** also begins [girl](/bip39-word/girl/).
- **"gira"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins girafe in the [French list](/french/), girar in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), girato in the [Italian list](/italian/) and girafa in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
