## About "segment" in BIP39

- "segment" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"seg"**, already identify it, because **"se"** also begins 22 other words, among them [sea](/bip39-word/sea/), [search](/bip39-word/search/), [season](/bip39-word/season/) and [seat](/bip39-word/seat/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"segm"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins segmento in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
