About "circle" in BIP39
- "circle" has 6 letters, but the first three, "cir", already identify it, because "ci" also begins cigar, cinnamon, citizen, city and civil. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "circ" is unique only within the English list: it also begins circuler in the French list, circo in the Spanish list, circa in the Italian list and circuito in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
