About "celery" in BIP39
- "celery" has 6 letters, but the first three, "cel", already identify it, because "ce" also begins ceiling, cement, census, century, cereal and certain. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "cele" is unique only within the English list: it also begins celebre in the Italian list, celebrar in the Portuguese list and celer in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
