## About "imitate" in BIP39

- "imitate" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"imi"**, already identify it, because **"im"** also begins 7 other words, among them [image](/bip39-word/image/), [immense](/bip39-word/immense/), [immune](/bip39-word/immune/) and [impact](/bip39-word/impact/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"imit"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins imiter in the [French list](/french/), imitar in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and imitador in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
