## About "tornado" in BIP39

- "tornado" has 7 letters, but the first four, **"torn"**, already identify it, because **"tor"** also begins [torch](/bip39-word/torch/) and [tortoise](/bip39-word/tortoise/).
- **"torn"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tornade in the [French list](/french/), torneo in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), tornare in the [Italian list](/italian/) and torneio in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
