## About "panic" in BIP39

- "panic" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"pani"**, already identify it, because **"pan"** also begins [panda](/bip39-word/panda/), [panel](/bip39-word/panel/) and [panther](/bip39-word/panther/).
- **"pani"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins paniquer in the [French list](/french/) and panika in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
