## About "orient" in BIP39

- "orient" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"orie"**, already identify it, because **"ori"** also begins [original](/bip39-word/original/).
- **"orie"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins oriente in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and oriental in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
