## About "limit" in BIP39

- "limit" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"limi"**, already identify it, because **"lim"** also begins [limb](/bip39-word/limb/).
- **"limi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins limite in the [French list](/french/), limitare in the [Italian list](/italian/) and limitar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
