## About "tenant" in BIP39

- "tenant" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"tena"**, already identify it, because **"ten"** also begins [ten](/bip39-word/ten/), [tennis](/bip39-word/tennis/) and [tent](/bip39-word/tent/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [ten](/bip39-word/ten/). Write "tenant" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- **"tena"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tenaille in the [French list](/french/) and tenaz in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "tenant" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #17 (word 2 of 18). Every official vector passes the [checksum checker](/bip39-checksum-checker/), and [How BIP39 works](/how-bip39-works/) shows how the entropy turns into such words.
