## About "marriage" in BIP39

- "marriage" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"marr"**, already identify it, because **"mar"** also begins [marble](/bip39-word/marble/), [march](/bip39-word/march/), [margin](/bip39-word/margin/), [marine](/bip39-word/marine/) and [market](/bip39-word/market/).
- **"marr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins marron in the [French list](/french/), marrón in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and marreco in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
