## About "police" in BIP39

- "police" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"poli"**, already identify it, because **"pol"** also begins [polar](/bip39-word/polar/) and [pole](/bip39-word/pole/).
- **"poli"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins policier in the [French list](/french/), policía in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), poligono in the [Italian list](/italian/), policiar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and polibek in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
