About "adult" in BIP39
- "adult" has 5 letters, but the first three, "adu", already identify it, because "ad" also begins 8 other words, among them adapt, add, addict and address. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "adul" is unique only within the English list: it also begins adulte in the French list, adulto in the Spanish list and adulare in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
