About "brush" in BIP39
- "brush" has 5 letters, but the first three, "bru", already identify it, because "br" also begins 19 other words, among them bracket, brain, brand and brass. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "brus" is unique only within the English list: it also begins brusque in the French list, brusco in the Spanish list and brusinka in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
