## About "motion" in BIP39

- "motion" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"moti"**, already identify it, because **"mot"** also begins [mother](/bip39-word/mother/) and [motor](/bip39-word/motor/).
- **"moti"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins motif in the [French list](/french/), motivo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), motivato in the [Italian list](/italian/), motim in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and motivace in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
