## About "impose" in BIP39

- "impose" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"impo"**, already identify it, because **"imp"** also begins [impact](/bip39-word/impact/), [improve](/bip39-word/improve/) and [impulse](/bip39-word/impulse/).
- **"impo"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins imposer in the [French list](/french/), imponer in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), importo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and impor in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
