## About "prison" in BIP39

- "prison" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"pris"**, already identify it, because **"pri"** also begins 7 other words, among them [price](/bip39-word/price/), [pride](/bip39-word/pride/), [primary](/bip39-word/primary/) and [print](/bip39-word/print/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1549 (index 1548), not #1369\. A wallet set to French reads "prison" as **11000001100** instead of **10101011000**, and decodes index 1368 as "oiseau".
- **"pris"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins prisión in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and prisma in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
