## About "olive" in BIP39

- "olive" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"oli"**, already identify it, because **"ol"** also begins [old](/bip39-word/old/) and [olympic](/bip39-word/olympic/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"oliv"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins olivier in the [French list](/french/), olivo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), oliva in the [Italian list](/italian/) and oliveira in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
