About "famous" in BIP39
- "famous" has 6 letters, but the first four, "famo", already identify it, because "fam" also begins fame and family.
- "famo" is unique only within the English list: it also begins famoso in the Spanish list, so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
- "famous" appears in one of the 24 official English test vectors of BIP39: vector #21 (word 20 of 24). Every official vector passes the checksum checker, and How BIP39 works shows how the entropy turns into such words.
