## About "urge" in BIP39

- "urge" has 4 letters, but the first three, **"urg"**, already identify it, because **"ur"** also begins [urban](/bip39-word/urban/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"urge"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins urgente in the [Spanish list](/spanish/) and urgenza in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
