## About "junior" in BIP39

- "junior" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"juni"**, already identify it, because **"jun"** also begins [jungle](/bip39-word/jungle/) and [junk](/bip39-word/junk/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1094 (index 1093), not #970\. A wallet set to French reads "junior" as **10001000101** instead of **01111001001**, and decodes index 969 as "hélium".
- **"juni"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins junio in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "junior" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #21 (word 17 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
