## About "pistol" in BIP39

- "pistol" has 6 letters, but the first three, **"pis"**, already identify it, because **"pi"** also begins 13 other words, among them [piano](/bip39-word/piano/), [picnic](/bip39-word/picnic/), [picture](/bip39-word/picture/) and [piece](/bip39-word/piece/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"pist"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins piston in the [French list](/french/), pista in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), pistola in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and pistole in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
