## About "mandate" in BIP39

- "mandate" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"mand"**, already identify it, because **"man"** also begins [man](/bip39-word/man/), [manage](/bip39-word/manage/), [mango](/bip39-word/mango/), [mansion](/bip39-word/mansion/) and [manual](/bip39-word/manual/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [man](/bip39-word/man/). Write "mandate" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"mand"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins mandater in the [French list](/french/), mando in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), mandorla in the [Italian list](/italian/), mandato in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and mandle in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
