## About "library" in BIP39

- "library" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"libr"**, already identify it, because **"lib"** also begins [liberty](/bip39-word/liberty/).
- **"libr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins libre in the [French list](/french/), libro in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and libra in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
