Dir with wildcard returning unexpected result

Hi there,
I have a lot of files in a folder

I run the following to get a subset

dir /b pa1*.txt

I would expect this to bring back only files like

pa1.txt
pa11.txt etc

However it also brings back files like
pay1.txt

Any reason for this does any one know
