## About "horn" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "horn": **"hor"** also begins [horror](/bip39-word/horror/) and [horse](/bip39-word/horse/).
- **"horn"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins horno in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and hornina in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "horn" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #17 (word 1 of 18). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
