## About "position" in BIP39

- "position" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"posi"**, already identify it, because **"pos"** also begins [possible](/bip39-word/possible/) and [post](/bip39-word/post/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1525 (index 1524), not #1348\. A wallet set to French reads "position" as **10111110100** instead of **10101000011**, and decodes index 1347 as "obéir".
- **"posi"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins posible in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), positivo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and posila in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
