## About "horse" in BIP39

- "horse" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"hors"**, already identify it, because **"hor"** also begins [horn](/bip39-word/horn/) and [horror](/bip39-word/horror/).
- **"hors"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins horstvo in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
