## About "section" in BIP39

- "section" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"sect"**, already identify it, because **"sec"** also begins [second](/bip39-word/second/), [secret](/bip39-word/secret/) and [security](/bip39-word/security/).
- **"sect"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins secta in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
