## About "mosquito" in BIP39

- "mosquito" has 8 letters, but the first three, **"mos"**, already identify it, because **"mo"** also begins 20 other words, among them [mobile](/bip39-word/mobile/), [model](/bip39-word/model/), [modify](/bip39-word/modify/) and [mom](/bip39-word/mom/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"mosq"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins mosquete in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
