About "edit" in BIP39
- "edit" has 4 letters, but the first three, "edi", already identify it, because "ed" also begins edge and educate. Three letters are enough for only 604 of the 2048 words.
- "edit" is unique only within the English list: it also begins editor in the Spanish list, editoria in the Italian list and edital in the Portuguese list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
