About "category" in BIP39
- "category" has 8 letters, but the first four, "cate", already identify it, because "cat" also begins cat, catalog, catch and cattle.
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, cat. Write "category" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
- "cate" is unique only within the English list: it also begins catena in the Italian list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
