## About "phrase" in BIP39

- "phrase" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"phr"**, already identify it, because **"ph"** also begins [phone](/bip39-word/phone/), [photo](/bip39-word/photo/) and [physical](/bip39-word/physical/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1477 (index 1476), not #1311\. A wallet set to French reads "phrase" as **10111000100** instead of **10100011110**, and decodes index 1310 as "négliger".
