## About "patrol" in BIP39

- "patrol" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"patr"**, already identify it, because **"pat"** also begins [patch](/bip39-word/patch/), [path](/bip39-word/path/), [patient](/bip39-word/patient/) and [pattern](/bip39-word/pattern/).
- **"patr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins patron in the [French list](/french/), patria in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), patrono in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and patrona in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "patrol" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #24 (word 16 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
