## About "protect" in BIP39

- "protect" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"prot"**, already identify it, because **"pro"** also begins 12 other words, among them [problem](/bip39-word/problem/), [process](/bip39-word/process/), [produce](/bip39-word/produce/) and [profit](/bip39-word/profit/).
- **"prot"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins protéger in the [French list](/french/), proteso in the [Italian list](/italian/), protetor in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and proton in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
