## About "mercy" in BIP39

- "mercy" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"merc"**, already identify it, because **"mer"** also begins [merge](/bip39-word/merge/), [merit](/bip39-word/merit/) and [merry](/bip39-word/merry/).
- **"merc"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins mercredi in the [French list](/french/), mercado in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and mercurio in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
