About "battle" in BIP39
- "battle" has 6 letters, but the first three, "bat", 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.
- "batt" is unique only within the English list: it also begins batterie in the French list and battuto in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
