## About "humor" in BIP39

- "humor" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"humo"**, already identify it, because **"hum"** also begins [human](/bip39-word/human/) and [humble](/bip39-word/humble/).
- **"humo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins humour in the [French list](/french/), humo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and humorado in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
