## About "scrub" in BIP39

- "scrub" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"scru"**, already identify it, because **"scr"** also begins [scrap](/bip39-word/scrap/), [screen](/bip39-word/screen/) and [script](/bip39-word/script/).
- **"scru"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins scrutin in the [French list](/french/) and scrutinio in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
