## About "original" in BIP39

- "original" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"orig"**, already identify it, because **"ori"** also begins [orient](/bip39-word/orient/).
- **"orig"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins origen in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), origine in the [Italian list](/italian/) and origem in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
