About "degree" in BIP39
- "degree" has 6 letters, but the first three, "deg", already identify it, because "de" also begins 37 other words, among them deal, debate, debris and decade. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "degr" is unique only within the English list: it also begins degrau in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
