## About "story" in BIP39

- "story" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"stor"**, already identify it, because **"sto"** also begins [stock](/bip39-word/stock/), [stomach](/bip39-word/stomach/), [stone](/bip39-word/stone/), [stool](/bip39-word/stool/) and [stove](/bip39-word/stove/).
- **"stor"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins storico in the [Italian list](/italian/) and storno in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
