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