About "cigar" in BIP39
- "cigar" has 5 letters, but the first three, "cig", already identify it, because "ci" also begins cinnamon, circle, citizen, city and civil. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "ciga" is unique only within the English list: it also begins cigare in the French list, cigarro in the Spanish list, cigana in the Portuguese list and cigareta in the Czech list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
