## About "select" in BIP39

- "select" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"sele"**, already identify it, because **"sel"** also begins [sell](/bip39-word/sell/).
- **"sele"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins selettivo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and seleto in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
