## About "veteran" in BIP39

- "veteran" has 7 letters, but the first three, **"vet"**, already identify it, because **"ve"** also begins 10 other words, among them [vehicle](/bip39-word/vehicle/), [velvet](/bip39-word/velvet/), [vendor](/bip39-word/vendor/) and [venture](/bip39-word/venture/). Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- **"vete"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins veterano in the [Italian list](/italian/) and veterina in the [Czech list](/czech/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
