## About "tribe" in BIP39

- "tribe" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"trib"**, already identify it, because **"tri"** also begins [trial](/bip39-word/trial/), [trick](/bip39-word/trick/), [trigger](/bip39-word/trigger/), [trim](/bip39-word/trim/) and [trip](/bip39-word/trip/).
- **"trib"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins tribunal in the [French list](/french/), tribu in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), tributo in the [Italian list](/italian/) and tribo in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
