## About "impulse" in BIP39

- "impulse" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"impu"**, already identify it, because **"imp"** also begins [impact](/bip39-word/impact/), [impose](/bip39-word/impose/) and [improve](/bip39-word/improve/).
- **"impu"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins imputer in the [French list](/french/), impulso in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and impune in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
