## About "salmon" in BIP39

- "salmon" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"salm"**, already identify it, because **"sal"** also begins [salad](/bip39-word/salad/), [salon](/bip39-word/salon/), [salt](/bip39-word/salt/) and [salute](/bip39-word/salute/).
- **"salm"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins salmón in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and salmone in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
