## About "modify" in BIP39

- "modify" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"modi"**, already identify it, because **"mod"** also begins [model](/bip39-word/model/).
- **"modi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins modifica in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
