About "bomb" in BIP39
- "bomb" has 4 letters, but the first three, "bom", already identify it, because "bo" also begins 16 other words, among them board, boat, body and boil. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "bomb" is unique only within the English list: it also begins bomba in the Spanish list and bombeiro in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
