About "apology" in BIP39
- "apology" has 7 letters, but the first three, "apo", already identify it, because "ap" also begins apart, appear, apple, approve and april. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "apol" is unique only within the English list: it also begins apologie in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
