## About "motor" in BIP39

- "motor" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"moto"**, already identify it, because **"mot"** also begins [mother](/bip39-word/mother/) and [motion](/bip39-word/motion/).
- **"moto"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins motosega in the [Italian list](/italian/), moto in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and motorka in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
