## About "term" in BIP39

- "term" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"ter"**, already identify it, because **"te"** also begins 9 other words, among them [teach](/bip39-word/teach/), [team](/bip39-word/team/), [tell](/bip39-word/tell/) and [ten](/bip39-word/ten/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"term"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins terminer in the [French list](/french/), terme in the [Italian list](/italian/), termal in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/) and termoska in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
