## About "private" in BIP39

- "private" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"priv"**, 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/).
- **"priv"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins priver in the [French list](/french/), privar in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), privato in the [Italian list](/italian/) and privado in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "private" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #15 (words 3 and 7 of 24). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
