About "canoe" in BIP39
- "canoe" has 5 letters, but the first four, "cano", already identify it, because "can" also begins 7 other words, among them can, canal, cancel and candy.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, can. Write "canoe" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "cano" is unique only within the English list: it also begins canon in the French list, canotto in the Italian list and canoa in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
