## About "prefer" in BIP39

- "prefer" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"pref"**, already identify it, because **"pre"** also begins [predict](/bip39-word/predict/), [prepare](/bip39-word/prepare/), [present](/bip39-word/present/), [pretty](/bip39-word/pretty/) and [prevent](/bip39-word/prevent/).
- **"pref"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins prefisso in the [Italian list](/italian/) and prefeito in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
