About "bamboo" in BIP39
- "bamboo" has 6 letters, but the first three, "bam", already identify it, because "ba" also begins 18 other words, among them baby, bachelor, bacon and badge. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "bamb" is unique only within the English list: it also begins bambin in the French list, bambú in the Spanish list, bambino in the Italian list and bambus in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
