## About "latin" in BIP39

- "latin" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"lati"**, already identify it, because **"lat"** also begins [later](/bip39-word/later/).
- **"lati"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins latir in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), latino in the [Italian list](/italian/), latido in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and latinka in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
