## About "label" in BIP39

- "label" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"labe"**, already identify it, because **"lab"** also begins [lab](/bip39-word/lab/) and [labor](/bip39-word/labor/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [lab](/bip39-word/lab/). Write "label" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1103 (index 1102), not #994\. A wallet set to French reads "label" as **10001001110** instead of **01111100001**, and decodes index 993 as "houleux".
