## About "medal" in BIP39

- "medal" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"meda"**, already identify it, because **"med"** also begins [media](/bip39-word/media/).
- **"meda"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins medalla in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and medalha in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
