## About "orbit" in BIP39

- "orbit" has 5 letters, but the first three, **"orb"**, already identify it, because **"or"** also begins 8 other words, among them [orange](/bip39-word/orange/), [orchard](/bip39-word/orchard/), [order](/bip39-word/order/) and [ordinary](/bip39-word/ordinary/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"orbi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins orbite in the [French list](/french/), orbitar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and orbital in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
