## About "ordinary" in BIP39

- "ordinary" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"ordi"**, already identify it, because **"ord"** also begins [order](/bip39-word/order/).
- **"ordi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins ordine in the [Italian list](/italian/) and ordinal in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
