About "exist" in BIP39

  • "exist" has 5 letters, but the first four, "exis", already identify it, because "exi" also begins exile and exit.
  • "exis" is unique only within the English list: it also begins exister in the French list and existir in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
  • "exist" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #24 (word 21 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
