About "catalog" in BIP39
- "catalog" has 7 letters, but the first four, "cata", already identify it, because "cat" also begins cat, catch, category and cattle.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, cat. Write "catalog" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "cata" is unique only within the English list: it also begins catasta in the Italian list and catarata in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
