## About "stage" in BIP39

- "stage" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"stag"**, already identify it, because **"sta"** also begins 9 other words, among them [stable](/bip39-word/stable/), [stadium](/bip39-word/stadium/), [staff](/bip39-word/staff/) and [stairs](/bip39-word/stairs/).
- **"stag"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins stagnare in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
