## About "surround" in BIP39

- "surround" has 8 letters, but the first four, **"surr"**, already identify it, because **"sur"** also begins [sure](/bip39-word/sure/), [surface](/bip39-word/surface/), [surge](/bip39-word/surge/), [surprise](/bip39-word/surprise/) and [survey](/bip39-word/survey/).
- **"surr"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins surrogato in the [Italian list](/italian/) and surreal in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
