## About "scorpion" in BIP39

- "scorpion" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"scor"**, already identify it, because **"sco"** also begins [scout](/bip39-word/scout/).
- **"scor"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins score in the [French list](/french/) and scorta in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
