## About "river" in BIP39

- "river" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"rive"**, already identify it, because **"riv"** also begins [rival](/bip39-word/rival/).
- **"rive"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins riverso in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
