## About "palace" in BIP39

- "palace" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"pala"**, already identify it, because **"pal"** also begins [palm](/bip39-word/palm/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1412 (index 1411), not #1274\. A wallet set to French reads "palace" as **10110000011** instead of **10011111001**, and decodes index 1273 as "moteur".
- **"pala"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins palabra in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), palazzina in the [Italian list](/italian/), palavra in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and palanda in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
