About "august" in BIP39
- "august" has 6 letters, but the first three, "aug", already identify it, because "au" also begins auction, audit, aunt, author, auto and autumn. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "augu" is unique only within the English list: it also begins augurer in the French list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
