## About "oval" in BIP39

- "oval" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"ova"**, already identify it, because **"ov"** also begins [oven](/bip39-word/oven/) and [over](/bip39-word/over/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"oval"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins ovale in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
