## About "refuse" in BIP39

- "refuse" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"refu"**, already identify it, because **"ref"** also begins [reflect](/bip39-word/reflect/) and [reform](/bip39-word/reform/).
- **"refu"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins refuge in the [French list](/french/), refugio in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and refugiar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
