## About "install" in BIP39

- "install" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"inst"**, already identify it, because **"ins"** also begins [insane](/bip39-word/insane/), [insect](/bip39-word/insect/), [inside](/bip39-word/inside/) and [inspire](/bip39-word/inspire/).
- **"inst"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins instinct in the [French list](/french/), instante in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and instalar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
