## About "train" in BIP39

- "train" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"trai"**, already identify it, because **"tra"** also begins 9 other words, among them [track](/bip39-word/track/), [trade](/bip39-word/trade/), [traffic](/bip39-word/traffic/) and [tragic](/bip39-word/tragic/).
- The same spelling is in the [French BIP39 wordlist](/french/), but as word #1912 (index 1911), not #1849\. A wallet set to French reads "train" as **11101110111** instead of **11100111000**, and decodes index 1848 as "talisman".
- "train" appears in one of the 24 official English [test vectors](https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/blob/master/vectors.json) of BIP39: vector #19 (word 12 of 12). 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. As the last word of vector #19, its final 4 bits, **1000**, are the checksum of the 12-word phrase.
